Program focuses on developing mental imagery skills, which involve visualizing and manipulating mental images of letters, words, and sentences. This skill is crucial for reading and comprehension. By strengthening mental imagery, individuals with learning disabilities can improve their ability to visualize and remember letter-sound relationships, decode words, and understand written text.
Phonemic awareness, the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words, is essential for reading success. The program incorporates phonemic awareness activities to help individuals with learning disabilities develop this skill. By practicing sound blending, segmenting, and manipulation exercises, they can improve their phonemic awareness and, in turn, their decoding and spelling abilities.
Program emphasizes orthographic mapping, which involves connecting sounds to their corresponding letters or letter combinations. By teaching individuals with learning disabilities to link sounds and letters through visual and kinesthetic strategies, such as color-coding and word-building activities, they can develop a stronger understanding of the written language. This facilitates improved reading accuracy, fluency, and spelling.
Program recognizes the importance of visual-spatial skills in reading and language processing. Individuals with learning disabilities often struggle with visual-spatial processing, which can impact their ability to perceive and understand written information. The program incorporates activities that help strengthen visual-spatial skills, such as air writing, tracing, and drawing letters. By enhancing these skills, individuals can better navigate and comprehend written material.
Program utilizes a multi-sensory approach to instruction, combining visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities. This approach caters to different learning styles and helps individuals with learning disabilities engage more effectively in the learning process. By involving multiple senses, the program enhances memory retention and overall learning outcomes.
Program can be tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals with learning disabilities. Instruction is individualized based on ongoing assessment, allowing for targeted interventions to address specific weaknesses. This personalized approach helps to optimize learning and accommodate the unique challenges faced by individuals with learning disabilities.
