This review is from: Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking: For Language Comprehension and Thinking (Paperback)

This book is an easy to follow step by step guide to teaching language comprehension. At a time when the higher order thinking skills of most students in the U.S. are dropping, this is truly an essential teaching manual for every teacher and parent. You can learn how to "picture" or "image" the gestalt!

This review is from: Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking: For Language Comprehension and Thinking (Paperback)

Nanci Bell is a pioneer in the field of reading comprehension and literacy interventions. This book is an excellent step-by-step guide to helping children learn to understand and communicate what they read. This work is also extremely helpful in working with children who have Autism. Children with Autism tend to struggle with visual imagery which impairs oral and written communication. This is an awesome and innovative approach to providing support for children with disabilities in developing visual imagery.

This review is from: Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking: For Language Comprehension and Thinking (Paperback)

This book presents a clear, logical way of developing the ability to visualize as you read, a skill all struggling readers lack. I teach deaf/hh children and found this book very helpful in laying out steps to develop their visual thinking. A quick read and easy to use technique that is beneficial for any age or disability.
