Visualizing and Verbalizing® for Language Comprehension and Thinking

One of the primary goals of the course 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: 1) reading comprehension, 2) oral language comprehension, 3) following oral directions, 4) critical thinking, 5) oral language expression, and 6) written language expression. Class members learn to develop concept imagery for all ages of students in one-to-one, small-group, and classroom settings. Study and supervised practice allows class members to learn Socratic questioning to develop sensory-cognitive functions, and integrate the steps into any curriculum, reading program, language arts program, and all content instruction. Information and techniques are gained through discussion, demonstration, video, reading, and supervised practice. After the workshop join the Imagery-Language Connection, our online professional learning community. For a limited time only, annual membership is free for each workshop participant!
