Beginner Level
This class is based on the research of The Lindamood Bell "Seeing Stars" and "Visualize Verbalize" programs. They were designed for struggling learners who may have diagnosed or undiagnosed learning disabilities, including dyslexia. This intensive beginning/intermediate reading bootcamp will be presented in live format utilizing the video and audio as we interact with each other throughout the class. Many of the exercises such as "air writing" will be performed all together in order to keep all learners engaged throughout the lesson. All learners have many opportunities to participate and interact with both the teacher and the other learners. Each 90 minute lesson will be divided into portions for our various skills; approximately 60 minutes for our Symbol Imagery (decoding, phonemic awareness, spelling) skills and approximately 30 minutes for our Visualizing Verbalizing reading comprehension skills.
Learning Goals
The Symbol Imagery portion of this class will target skills such as: visualizing and sequencing of sounds/letters within words. This includes all consonants, short vowels, and various combinations for long vowels and diphthongs.The Comprehension portion of this class will target skills such as recalling facts, stating the main idea, drawing conclusions, and making inferences. This is done with pictures, sentences, and short passages.
