Seeing Stars: Symbol Imagery for Phonemic Awareness, Sight Words and Spelling

I bought this for my daughter in an effort to better understand her dyslexia and teach her in a way that will be beneficial. This book was in absolutely mint condition. I am so pleased with my purchase! Thank you so much for having it in an affordable price range also!

Not what I needed.Good informative book though.

Love this program.

Not as spectacular as I thought it would be after reading about it.

I am a home-schooling parent, and also studying for my b.a. in Special Education. This book is a very useful resource, and it is especially useful because you don't have to alter your phonics program in any way, you just supplement it with the strategies listed in this book. A very comprehensive and easy to understand strategy that both the educator and parent can implement. Even five stars does not do it justice in my opinion. Just been using it two days, and my daughter is already improving on her spelling. Just remember to buy the index cards to do your phonetic chains on before starting the lessons.

I can't wait to start using it, but the format which describes the theory up-front and gives practical advice at the end makes it approachable.

I am trying to help my dyslexic son be a better reader. The basic principal in this book is imaging - helping students "see" words in their mind to help them with reading, spelling and comprehension. The premise suggests that phonics is important, sight words are important - but their is another vital component to being a successful reader - the ability to "see" the words you are reading, to self correct and decode independently. We have tried many programs - but this book provides hands on lesson plans - not just theory. It is going great so far!

Excellent resource!
