[quote=Anonymous]I used it at home.  There is a teacher guide that may be useful in explaining how to use it.  I didn't have the teacher guide.  I just had my son read the paragraph (website has sample pages) and answer half or more of the prompts.  More than that got tedious.  You would want to pace it based on what your child is able to do attention-wise, etc.  Sometimes I had him answer the comprehension questions/inferencing questions and sometimes I had him write a story if he was sufficiently interested.  Since the main goal is help your child develop visualization abilities, you can do it orally with your child or write their answers for them to model how they might do it independently later, so I can imagine you could have siblings participate and they can take turns describing what they visualize.  Could be a really sweet family activity.  Since some kids don't like writing, keeping it oral might be the best way to target the comprehension and visualization skills.  The workbooks are cheap enough, it's definitely worth trying.  I would only buy one and see how it goes.  It should last you a few months at least.  You could do it 2-4 times per week, keeping it fun and light.  The topics are fun.  This is one of my favorite resources to recommend.  Good luck![/quote]
