The Power
of Visual Imagery is a program for teachers, tutors, or even parents to help
children who do not automatically comprehend or understand information they
have read. It is able to be used
alone, with all the necessary text and stories included, or with general
instructions for other text materials.
The Power of Visual Imagery
uses instruction in complex interactive visual imagery, teaching students
how to visually image and also how to provide a verbal description of the
on-going images. All lessons are
included for use with large groups, small groups, or individually.
The book initially
involves having the students practice visualization to a listening prompt
after modeling of visual imagery.
Next the students are instructed to read a sentence, visually image
the sentence, and then describe the image.
Students’ images are expected to evolve with each new
sentence. This phase is practiced
intensely with teacher/tutor feedback throughout each passage. The dialogue between the teacher and
student continues throughout the program.
The Power
of Visual Imagery is a research-based intervention which is useful for
determining “response to instruction” or RTI for both
traditional learners and those with more specific learning needs. To order the Power of Visual Imagery- A Reading Comprehension Program for
