VEL Produces Hank and Harriet Play a Game:
Imagine children waiting in a local dentist's office watching our Hank and Harriet video and learning academic vocabulary that will help them show their teachers what they already know! That vision, as well as the potential of childcare providers and teachers sharing Hank and Harriet with children and families, was the motivating force behind VEL's animated video on Academic Vocabulary.

DVDs and Wafer Drives loaded with the video as well as other great resources for families and caregivers are available for regional distribution and individual use! Please email jpartridge@esd113.org for more information.
