Module 1: Thoughts, Behaviors, & Feelings $37
This module is designed to help with upsetting or negative thoughts, feelings,
and behaviors. It will help the student to develop goals, positive thoughts, and positive feelings. This leads to enhanced functioning in all areas of life.
Module 2: The Body & Learning $37
This module is designed for the student who has trouble with coordination, both
gross motor skills and fine motor skills, as well as difficulties with sequencing,
whether at the level of speech and language or playing baseball. If the student
has difficulty coordinating the body in space and in movement, if he has trouble writing legibly, if the muscles of his eyes don’t allow for good tracking, this
module should be completed.
Module 3: Processing Efficiency $37
This module is as fundamental to the learning process as module 2. It will help
the student to develop timing skills which are involved in all levels of
sequencing abilities such as speech and movement. It will also help the
student’s neurological processing to speed up. An efficient processing speed is
crucial for taking in information and retaining it.
Module 4: Auditory Processing $37
The majority of my and my tutors’ students have auditory processing
challenges.
This module begins with learning to listen. Many students with auditory
problems have learned to “tune out.” They have even learned to tune
themselves out! In other words, they do not listen to their own voices, and this
is a critical component for the student who is having trouble reading. Why? Reading is silently speaking to one’s self. If a student is not listening to himself,
he will not be listening to himself when he’s reading, either aloud or silently.
Part 2 of the module focuses on the sounds of language. It is a very intense,
back-to-basics-learning of the vowel sounds, consonant sounds, and consonant
blends, and it provides the perfect foundation for learning to read and spell.
BrightHouse Auditory Processing CD $9.97
This CD accompanies Module 4, Auditory Processing.
Module 5: Visual Processing $37
This module is for the student who needs help with eye tracking, who has
trouble differentiating “b” from “d,” as well as other letters and shapes, knowing left from right, and copying from board to paper. This module isn’t typically
needed as much as auditory processing. However, for some students this is the
absolute critical piece to their inability to read and spell.
This module does not address visual stress syndrome, also known as scotopic
sensitivity syndrome, and the Irlen syndrome. However, an Assessment for
Irlen Syndrome is available at www.irlen.com as well as a list of screeners and
diagnosticians across the U.S.
Module 6: Short Term Memory $37
Short term memory involves both the auditory and the visual systems.
However, most students’ greatest difficulty is with auditory working memory. If
a student has difficulty remembering multi-step directions, can’t tell you what
she just read, gets distracted easily, and finds it difficult to stay on task, the
culprit is most likely auditory working memory. This goes along with auditory
processing difficulties. Therefore, most students who complete Module 4 will
also need to complete Module 6. Visual short term memory is also included in
this module.
Module 7: Long Term Memory $37
Most problems with long term memory are due to a student’s lack of
understanding regarding the organization of information and how it associated with material
already learned. In other words, learning comes more easily when it begins
with simple information that provides a “frame” on which to hang newinformation as it comes in. Our educational system is based on this “accretion”
model. However, some students do not necessarily understand this form of
organization and have to be taught it explicitly. This module does just that.
In addition, the visual system is, by far, the superior system for remembering
information. Some students may be strong visual learners, but they do not
automatically “image,” or see pictures when they are reading. They have to be taught this skill explicitly. Again, this modules does just that.
Module 8: Reasoning $37
Following closely on the heels of Module 7, this module helps to further
explicitly teach students how to organize information for understanding and
retention. Students are taught to use a visual strategy for organizing, studying,
writing short stories, essays, and studying for tests in such subjects as social
studies and science. (Students’ real textbooks will be used in this module.)
This module also includes logic exercises so that, again, students are taught explicitly how to understand the logic behind patterns. A card game is included
as well which helps students to implicitly understand the logic in visual-spatial
patterns.
Module 9: Reading & Spelling $37
This module is a guide to be used along with an excellent phonics book. While the author of this book recommends multisensory strategies and provides some games, this module will ensure that a minimum of
four multisensory strategies are used to learn to read and spell.
This is a strong sound-to-code program that is crucial for many children to learn
to read, especially if they have auditory processing problems. No matter the
learning style of the student, this module will accommodate it. A student’s strongest system, whether auditory, visual, or kinesthetic, will be used. In
addition, a student’s weakest system will be pushed through at least one
strategy in each lesson. By the end of this module, a student’s ability to
process each of these forms of information will be enhanced, and reading will be
automatic. When this happens, the brain is free to comprehend what is being
read.
Module 10: Reading Comprehension $37
This module focuses on explicitly teaching students how to see pictures and
create “movies in the mind” while reading. It begins with simple strategies for
learning to image and moves to strategies for using imagery with fiction. It
then moves to strategies for mastering information in textbooks. Again, the students’ real textbooks are used in this module.
The entire manual as well as each individual module will be delivered to you via email in pdf format. (If your child is doing the program online, the manual and modules will be available in the online courseroom.)
This delivery approach not only saves time, but it saves you tons of money! When you purchase the manual or modules, you will receive a user name and password and a link to the document. Click on the link, and then type in your user name and password, and the document will open. You will need to print one copy. After this, the document will be locked. (I know, I know...but this is saving you over a hundred dollars!)
So, be absolutely certain you have enough black and color print cartridges and paper on hand when you are ready to print the document. Oh, and one more thing, if you're purchasing the whole manual, you will probably want to buy some paper that's already 3-hole-punched!
Of course, if you want to purchase the printed manual, simply purchase a binder, and when it arrives, you will simply remove it from the wrapping and place it in the binder. Voila!
