Visual cues in the classroom great. That way students know what is coming up next. This will help ease anxiety students may have.

Visual cues are helpful in the classroom as seen in the video, where students know the sequence or order in which things are being done or process.  It can support langauge development by helping students verbalize feeling according to the visual cues.  Ms. Hawkings presents visually allowing students to use happy/angry face pictures during storytime to tell what the characters are feeling in the story.

Visual prompts are great for young children because they can see and understand what is going on and prompt them to remember things.

    Male Voice 1: We're doin' this right now. Afterwards, we're gonna do that.

    Interviewee: They don't have to just remember or understand it through speaking. I use visuals a lot with stories.

    He's excited. Hold up your excited one. He's really excited. He's gonna get that goldfish.

    Female Voice 2: Yeah.

    Male Voice 2: Me, too.

    Interviewee: Do you think that's a good idea? What do you think mommy feels like?

    Male Voice 3: Angry.

    Interviewee: She's got her hands on her hips. Show me angry. Okay. Let's see what happens. David's mom always—
