Verbal+Reading

Verbal Reading students have strength with the five components of reading: phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. They process (think) in words. These learners are strong auditory-sequential learners and have the potential to master language (receptive and/or expressive) quickly. Verbal Reading students, who have demonstrated formal achievement in reading, need complex reading materials that include analytical, critical and creative thinking skills. They may respond orally or in written form, responding to questions about the meaning of text, indicating they thoroughly understood the material. Verbal Reading students will benefit most from materials that provide an in-depth reading process at their level and accelerated vocabulary development through a variety of strategies and materials.
