The Importance of Visualization While Reading
Our language-based visualization program gives students direct instruction on how to picture spoken words, sentences, paragraphs, and whole pages. Many children have difficulty answering questions about what they’ve read, following through with directions to complete a task, or even coming up with an idea for play. These difficulties could be due to weakened concept imagery, or the ability to picture the “gestalt” or main idea. When students learn to visualize, they are able to picture the whole and not just small details. Having the ability to visualize is essential for success in reading comprehension in all subjects, following multi-step instructions, critical thinking, self-expression, confidence, motivation, and much more!
Three-Sensory Cognitive Functions for Literacy and Language Skills
What do we mean when we say our individualized literacy instruction is multisensory? Essentially, it involves explicitly teaching a student how to use their whole brain while reading. By simultaneously engaging different parts of the brain, it increases its interconnectedness, which is vital for maximum retention. Our methods not only enhance memory and recall, but they also allow for new neural connections and pathways. This, in turn, makes reading more interactive, increasing motivation and engagement, ultimately creating a LOVE of reading and learning. Not to mention that it is inclusive because all learners can benefit!
