Reading comprehension is a difficult skill for may students, regardless of their ability to read the words on a page. Although this task is the ultimate goal of reading, there are not many programs that actually teach the skills of understanding printed material. "The Power of Visual Imagery. A Reading Comprehension Program for Students with Reading Difficulties" includes the theroretical underpinnings as well as the actual lesson plans for teachers to use independently or with their current language arts program. Based on the recent changes in IDEA 2004, schools are now encouraged to use research-based effective instructional methods in classrooms when determining the presence of a disability, in order to measure the students response to instruction (RTI) While methodology included in this book can be quite useful in determining RTI, it has also been shown to be effective with traditional learners in large groups, small groups, or individually. Once mastered, students ar encouraged to continue using this technique to help them become more automatic and independent readers.

Good for beginners,

This review is from: The Power of Visual Imagery: A Reading Comprehension Program for Students with Reading Difficulties (Paperback)
This is a very good book if you are just starting to use visual imagery in your classroom- which I am. There is a lot of explanation and several steps by lessons. It is easy to follow and good for a variety of age ranges. The lessons range from very, very basic to slight complex. It also gives a great summary of learning disabilities and what that means. This is a great book for any teacher to have in their library.

This review is from: The Power of Visual Imagery: A Reading Comprehension Program for Students with Reading Difficulties (Paperback)
It is refreshing to see visual imagery strategies on the cover! The author is also accurate in claiming that imagery is a research-based intervention that fits nicely within an RtI model. All students can benefit from practicing the use of imagery. In addition, children with specific learning disabilities can show impressive gains after participating in a program of this nature.
