Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking (V/V®)
17 Mar 2021
About the event
The Visualizing & Verbalizing course's primary goal is to make class members aware that concept imagery is the specific sensory-cognitive function basic to language comprehension and critical thinking. Class members will learn the role of concept imagery in reading comprehension; oral language comprehension; following oral directions; critical thinking; oral language expression; and written language expression. Information and techniques are gained through discussion; demonstration; video; reading; and supervised practice. Study and supervised practice allow class members to learn Socratic questioning to develop sensory-cognitive functions; and integrate the steps into any curriculum; reading programme; language arts programme; and content instruction.
Founded in 1986 and in the UK since 2002, Lindamood-Bell has pioneered evidence-based programmes that develop the imagery-language foundation underlying reading, spelling, language comprehension, maths, memory, and critical thinking. Aligned with the Cognitive Science of Reading from the start, Lindamood-Bell for Schools offers Levels of CPD, from initial workshops and on-demand refinement courses to live in-classroom support and advanced instructional leadership development. We believe, passionately, that all children and adults can be taught to read, comprehend, and do maths to their potential.
