Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking

Wow, as an adult I have had reading difficulties all of my life although I tested above average IQ. This book helped so much! It broke down step by step on how to gather the meaning of text without overwhelming the reader. Well written, great illustrations. Excellent resource. Frankly, it was a life changer.

Needed a crash course in VV for my special needs students, many of whom have an emotional component. Teaching VV has given my students a chance to develop and inner voice by developing and finding their inner pictures. A wonderful way to expand possibilities.

This book is great but I accidentally bought the 20 year old publication where a recent publication was available. Amazon should punch some icon or something saying new version available on anything like this.

I think if you want a program that helps kids with reading comprehension then this is helpful program for some students.

the original.

excellent step by step process with scripted demonstrations

Perfect condition. Thanks!

This is an extraordinarily powerful resource for teachers of students who struggle with comprehension. It has a nicely sequenced, user-friendly set of tasks that will produce rapid improvements in understanding as well as retention of written material. It also helps youngsters who are struggling with comprehension of what they hear. Finally, it helps students enjoy what they read and thus heightens interest.I trained para-professionals in this method. We found it produced immediate improvements in our weakest readers. For example, a child who at first could remember only two or three details from a text could, after just two or three sessions, recall more than 15 details.The Visualize and Verbalize method is easy to use, and children enjoy it. If you have students who need help with basic comprehension, try this book. I think you will be pleased by the results.Keep in mind that you can apply this approach for whole-class instruction to increase all of your students' comprehension at any level. The ideas are applicable to any teacher, so long as some intelligence is brought to the task of figuring out which parts your students need and which parts can be left out. The book itself, then, is designed to help students who are really struggling, but it can also be used to increase the skills of students who are already performing adequately.

Although I have a the new edition as well, this book proved very helpful. It is less verbose and helps clarifying some details.

Very happy with purchase. Second-hand book exactly as described - in good condition.

Just what I needed. Great condition.

Very good book
