On a related note, Next Vista for Learning hosts a great video explanation of onomatopoeia. The video was produced by a high school trainee for one of Next Vistas many student video development contests.

After supper and my rather not successful description of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to search for a video that may assist my children much better understand what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this adorable and brief video about onomatopoeia. Ill alert you, the tune is type of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

Every night my children (ages 4 and 5) ask us all kinds of fascinating questions. Some of them are about things that I have not believed about in a long time. Some of them arent simple to answer in a method that they can understand.
