Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher models and supports a child as they learn a self-help skill. Notice how the teacher first models handwashing by saying, “Can I wash my hands first to make my hands nice and clean, and then you copy me?” and then supports the child by saying, “Soap, soap other hand” and “Got to rub your other one too, please.”
