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

Seeing Stars outlines the reading program that has helped thousands of students learn to read fluently and spell accurately by developing an essential underlying skill: the ability to perceive and create mental imagery for the individual sounds and letters within words.

This visual processing of sounds and symbols is known as symbol imagery, and in this manual, author Nanci Bell demonstrates how the development of symbol imagery can help students stabilize phonemic awareness, quickly recognize sight words, spell with correct orthographic patterns, and read fluently in context. Sample lessons and useful techniques are provided to help you guide students through the program.

Seeing Stars is one of the program manuals used in the professional development training and instructional services provided by Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes.
