Visualizing and Verbalizing is by Lindamood-Bell and is published by Gander Publishing.? It is for people who have difficulty with concept imagery.? I have had good results with this with both students who have only comprehension difficulties as well as with students who struggle with many aspects of reading.
Bridge?of Vocabulary is published by Pearson.? If I were a classroom teacher, I would probably use Bringing Words to Life, Robust Vocabulary Instruction.? The ideas in that book are great for when a teacher has all day access to students and can weave vocabulary instruction into the entire day.? Bridge of Vocabulary doesn't knock my socks off but it works and is good for my setting in which I only have a short shot each day to work with my students. I am finding, in general, that vocabulary is a bigger factor in reading success than I had ever imagined.? It's about that "internal lexicon".? You can decode? until the "cows come home" ?but if one doesn't have a word to tap into that makes sense, there is nothing to decode for.?? The life experiences of many of my Title I students are very limited. I am grateful that I work in a district that involves teachers in so much of the decision making and that we are not locked into a scripted intervention program. Cathy R.
