Help Middle School Students Build Social and Communication Skills with Video Modeling

Our video modeling lessons help middle school students build and practice the life skills they need to thrive socially, academically, and outside the classroom.

How Evidence-Based Video Modeling Lessons Engage Middle Schoolers

Students learn best when they can see social skills in action. Everyday Speech uses video lessons featuring diverse, age-relatable actors to model social situations that mirror your students’ daily experiences.

From navigating group projects, handling disagreements, or dealing with bullying, our video modeling lessons make abstract concepts concrete and relatable.

Student actors model real-life situations that feel relatable and authentic

Thought bubbles make inner thoughts visible to help build deeper social understanding

Every scenario shows the “why” behind behavior to strengthen social skills development

Easy-to-follow Units Make Teaching Truly No-Prep

Each unit introduces a skill with a video lesson, then reinforces learning with interactive games and worksheets. Units and materials designed specifically for middle school mean creating lesson plans for social skills instruction is a thing of the past.

Units also scaffold learning to support growth over time. Easily target specific skills as needed, or simply follow the curriculum to help students practice skills like navigating friendships, advocating for themselves, or compromising.

What Educators Are Saying

Read More Testimonials

I love Everyday Speech! I use it in my middle school social skills small group content support class. My students love the games and look forward to playing them. I recommended everyday speech to anyone to plans to teach social skills!” 2. “The resources to explicitly teach the hidden social curriculum are easy to use and student friendly

Karen Staley

Early Childhood through Young Adulthood Exceptional Needs Specialist

I absolutely love incorporating Everyday Speech lessons, videos, games, activities, and companion worksheets into my small group, 1:1, or even as a whole class lesson targeting social language pragmatics. I find Everyday Speech highly effective for my current caseload which includes students attending elementary and middle school. My students enjoy watching the videos. I often pair the videos with companion worksheets, stories, and other activities which allow students opportunities to practice the targeted skills.

The video modeling is a wonderful model for talking through social interactions in a way that students “get”. Particularly my upper elementary and middle school students, they are great jumping off points for deeper discussions and problem solving as a group (i.e. what could they do differently, what went wrong, why did the peer respond that way, etc)
