Book The Effects of Symbol Imagery Instruction Versus Visualizing verbalizing Instruction on the Reading Comprehension of Middle School English Language Learners with Specific Learning Disabilities

Download or read book The Effects of Symbol Imagery Instruction Versus Visualizing verbalizing Instruction on the Reading Comprehension of Middle School English Language Learners with Specific Learning Disabilities written by Jennifer Bickford-Rivera and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examined the effects of two scientifically based academic reading interventions upon students who had no previous opportunity for interventions prior to qualification for special education. The Lindamood-Bell Learning Process offers two programs to intensively intervene with students having difficulty in reading. One of the programs, Seeing Stars, focuses on the development of symbol imagery in phonemic awareness. The other, Visualizing-Verbalizing, develops students' concept imagery. This study compared the effectiveness of the two programs on reading comprehension for middle school English language (EL) learners eligible for special education in the category of Specific Learning Disabilities. In this quantitative study, the independent variable was the method of instruction (i.e., symbol imagery instruction versus visualize-verbalize instruction). The dependent variable was the pre-post change of students' reading comprehension as measured by the Basic Reading Inventory, Ekwall/Shanker Reading Inventory, and the Gray Oral Reading Test (GORT). Overall, the results show reading comprehension growth for most students using either intervention. Except for three students, over the six-week instructional period, participants showed from six months to two years growth, with the mean growth over both intervention groups being nine months. Results suggest that both reading interventions can have a powerful positive impact with English language learners eligible for special education. Key words: Phonemic awareness, symbol imagery, visualizing and verbalizing Strategy, scientifically based interventions.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This qualitative research study examined the effects of explicit instruction in visualization strategies within a fourth-grade Read 180 reading intervention classroom. The study's nine participants were taught visualization strategies in hopes of increasing their reading comprehension and reading motivation. The study's lessons consisted of teaching visualization within three categories: Drawing (creating images based on author description), Watching (seeing the story unfold), and Living (experiencing the story). The study was conducted in an urban neighborhood elementary school with a high population of at-risk learners. The nine participants were a ethnically heterogeneous group of below grade-level readers, which included economically disadvantaged students, males and females, English Language Learners, and students with Individualized Education Plans. The participants were also enrolled in the Read 180 program, which included differentiated instructional software, leveled independent texts, and comprehension instruction. The study's findings suggest that explicit instruction of visualization techniques can have positive impacts on struggling readers' comprehension. The study also suggests that providing students with explicit visualization instruction can have a positive impact on students' self-reported reading enjoyment and motivation to read independently.

Book Visualization and Drama Based Techniques to Impact Reading Comprehension of a Fourth Grade Student with a Cognitive Disability

Download or read book Visualization and Drama Based Techniques to Impact Reading Comprehension of a Fourth Grade Student with a Cognitive Disability written by Kristen Marie Lowell and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study explores the impact of visualization and drama-based techniques on the reading comprehension of a fourth-grade student with a cognitive disability. Existing literature has indicated that reading comprehension is an area of struggle for many students and that visualizing and using drama can be highly effective in improving understanding of a text. Eighteen interventions were designed to work on three strategies, using a graphic organizer to document sensory information, drawing a scene from a story, and finally acting out a scene using props over the course of 6 weeks. This case study found that visualization and drama-based strategies are highly effective in improving reading comprehension and other areas of reading for students with cognitive disabilities improving recalling and fluency skills.

Download or read book The Effects of Teaching Cogntive sic Reading Comprehension Strategies to Sixth Grade English Language Learner ELL Students written by Robin Corton Bellamy and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to determine the opinions of sixth grade ELL students after learning three cognitive reading comprehension strategies. Did their attitudes toward reading change? Did the strategies enhance their understanding? Six Hmong students and one Latino student participated in the study. Using the research of Keene and Zimmermann and Harvey and Goodvis, I taught making connections, visualizing, and synthesizing. I conducted pre- and post-teaching focus groups and surveys, and took field notes. Results were positive. Attitudes of four students toward reading improved. Six of the seven students said that learning strategies increased their understanding of what they read. Benefits of the strategies included additional thinking about the book, helping to find the main ideas, and generating self-confidence as readers.
