[quote=Anonymous]LMB has several programs that they recommend to students. For students with reading deficits (as opposed to math) most will start with Seeing Stars in order to develop their phonemic awareness and reading fluency. Once fluency is established an an age-appropriate level, students move on to working on reading comprehension in the Visualizing and Verbalizing program.

The beauty and the limitation of LMB is that there isn’t really a “something else.” It’s a very data-driven organization, so management really wants consistency of approach. Consultants will make adjustments by changing which Visualizing and Verbalizing books they give to students to read. Not only do they vary by challenge level, but the type of content varies too, so different things will interest different students, and some types of stories may be ever so slightly more challenging to visualize. Consultants will also vary the lengths of passages that they give to students based on how well they are elaborating and whether the student appears to be reliably forming mental pictures of what they read. I will say, however, that the entirety of the VV curriculum is more than what you see in the student VV workbooks that you buy online; it stretches all the way into note taking activities for older students.[/quote]
