Video self‐modeling (VSM) has been used for decades to effectively improve individuals' behaviors and skills. The purpose of this review is to locate and analyze published studies that used VSM for typical school‐based academic skills to determine the effect of VSM interventions on students' academic performance. Only eight studies were located that met the selection criteria. Based on the results of these 8 studies, VSM shows promise for improving academic performance, although the small number of studies limits our ability to draw strong conclusions about the efficacy of VSM across the school age span and across various academic skills. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Supplemental education technology tools such as those that provide computer-assisted instruction may provide important academic value to elementary age students in developing literacy and language skills. A randomized control trial of students within five schools was conducted in a northwestern school district in the United States of America to evaluate the academic impact of the Imagine Language & Literacy program on student literacy outcomes. In one school, K–3 students who used the program were found to have achieved test scores that were significantly greater than students who did not use the program during the 2013–2014 school year. The results of this study provide evidence of the effectiveness of supplemental literacy tools such as Imagine Language & Literacy in improving student outcomes in literacy development.
