Volume 1 of teach2talk’s™ Pronouns! series of videos helps teach children to understand and use a variety of basic pronouns, focusing on the first pronouns which children typically acquire, such I, you, he, she, it, we and they, me, you, her, him, it, us and them, and mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours and theirs.

Volume 1 of the Pronouns! covers all of the common personal pronouns (including their objective, subjective and possessive forms). Pronouns are extremely important in children’s language development.

Our Pronouns! series teaches using video modeling, featuring real children between the ages of five and fifteen. Proper usage of the pronouns is modeled in a variety of every-day scenarios that will be familiar to most children. Humor, puppets, costumes and songs are used to keep children engaged and provide additional reinforcement.

Volume 1 of the Pronouns! series is appropriate for any child who has not yet mastered the understanding and use of personal pronouns or who confuses them, as well as children who are just starting to learn and use pronouns. Children typically begin to develop their use of personal pronouns between two and three years of age.

Pronouns! was created by a speech language pathologist who has extensive experience teaching children pronouns and other speech and language concepts, including through the use of video modeling, which research has shown to be an effective learning methodology for many children.

teach2talk Co-Founder Jenny McCarthy, Mom:
Pronouns! So important for my son Evan! Evan used to refer to himself as “Evan” instead of “I”. He also used to also confuse “he” with “she” and “him” with “her”. It made his language sound very immature, and other children would laugh at him when he said things wrong. Now that Evan uses and understands pronouns correctly it’s easier for him to express himself, and he’s much less frustrated.

teach2talk Co-Founder Sarah Clifford Scheflen, M.S., CCC-SLP, Speech Language Pathologist:
Pronouns are important building blocks for every child’s functional communication system. Pronouns, which are used to take the place of nouns in our speech, allow children to produce sentences that are less repetitive, more efficient and less cumbersome. Our Pronouns! videos help children learn the meaning of these words and acquire them more quickly.
