Teach reading and spelling with the Seeing Stars® program.

Authored by Nanci Bell

Seeing Stars® develops symbol imagery: the ability to visualize sounds and letters within words for both phonological and orthographic processing. Students move through a series of steps—from single consonants/vowels to multisyllabic and contextual reading—to develop the imagery-language connection for competency in written language.

Seeing Stars® instruction develops:

  • Phonics / Phoneme awareness
  • Word attack
  • Orthographic awareness
  • Word recognition
  • Spelling
  • Reading fluency

Develop comprehension and higher order
thinking with the Visualizing and Verbalizing® program.

Authored by Nanci Bell

Visualizing and Verbalizing® (V/V®) develops concept imagery for both oral and written language. Through a series of steps, students learn to create an imaged gestalt and integrate that imagery with language as a basis for language comprehension and thinking.

V/V® instruction develops:

  • Reading comprehension
  • Oral language comprehension
  • Oral language expression
  • Written language expression
  • Following directions
  • Vocabulary

Develop oral language comprehension
and expression with the Talkies® program.

Authored by Nanci Bell and Christy Bonetti

Talkies® is the primer to the Visualizing and Verbalizing® program for students who need simpler, smaller steps of instruction to establish the imagery-language connection. The goal of Talkies® instruction is to develop mental imagery as a base for language comprehension and expression. Talkies® instruction may benefit students with prior third-party diagnoses of expressive language delays or autism spectrum disorders.

Talkies® instruction helps:

  • Bring nonverbal imagery to consciousness
  • Establish the imagery-language connection
  • Increase oral vocabulary
  • Improve language comprehension and expression

Develop phonemic awareness with the
Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® (LiPS®) Program.

Authored by Patricia Lindamood

LiPS® Program instruction develops:

  • Phoneme awareness
  • Phonics
  • Pronunciation
  • Word attack
