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:
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:
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:
The LiPS® Program develops phoneme awareness. Students learn to recognize how their mouths produce the sounds of language. This kinesthetic feedback enables them to verify sounds within words and to become self-correcting in reading, spelling, and speech.
LiPS® Program instruction develops:
On Cloud Nine® Math (OCN) stimulates the ability to image and verbalize the concepts and processes of math. Concept imagery and numeral imagery are integrated with language to improve math computation and problem solving.
