Teaching Tip: We get Netfix and we turn on subtitles for
everything. Then we turn the sound pretty low. It's better for
our hearing and great for reading skills. It's a lot like reading
a script. I also think it helps my son with social skills, since
we use pause a lot, and he loves to repeat favorite lines. Also,
sometimes actors mumble over something and with subtitles we
always know exactly what they are saying and how to spell it.
My son also loves to draw pictures with titles. Certain
movies, like "Lord of the Rings" or Dino documentaries
have lots of strange words and I love to see how they are spelled.
My son & I are very visual.
