Seeing Stars Teachers Manual: Symbol Imagery for Phonemic Awareness, Sight Words and Spelling

The Seeing Stars Teacher's Manual details theory and specific steps to teach the symbol imagery program created out of years of clinical research. Helps students develop symbol imagery for phonemic awareness, orthography, sight words, spelling, and reading fluency. Symbol imagery is the ability to visualize the identity, number, and sequence of sounds and letters within words. Symbol imagery is necessary for phonological and orthographical processing in order to anchor and retain words in the visual memory system to increase reading and spelling skills.
