The Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking® (V/V®) program, created by Nanci Bell, helps struggling readers develop the sensory-cognitive function of concept imagery. Unlike most reading and comprehension programs, V/V instruction directly applies concept imagery to the comprehension and expression of both oral and written language, as well as the development of critical thinking skills. Students in the V/V program move through a series of steps to learn the process for creating an imaged gestalt, then integrating that imagery with language to strengthen their comprehension and critical thinking. Developing concept imagery is necessary to becoming an independent reader, which is necessary to becoming a proficient learner in any subject. The process based instruction provided by the V/V program has proven successful for individuals exhibiting symptoms of hyperlexia, ADHD, ASD, CAPD and other learning difficulties. This class is limited to 4 students. 


 

This option is designed to improve and strengthen each child’s skills in reading, writing and arithmetic. This program will individually evaluate reading and math abilities of each student and design a program specifically to each child’s skills. A variety of tools may be used including: Sonday I & II, LiPS, The Phonics Program, Rite Flight Reading Fluency, Sound Reading Solutions, Earobics and HearBuilders. Orton-Gillingham strategies utilized in this program are proven to be effective with students with Dyslexia. Strategies for Study Success will be incorporated into the lessons along with FASTT Math (Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching and Technology). Other strategies will include sequencing activities and following directions to increase memory. Each class will be held for 2 ½ hour sessions, three days per week for four consecutive weeks. Student-teacher ratio 4:1.
