Show Me… vs Visualization Skills

Show Me… is a receptive and expressive language task developed by Speech-Language Pathologists to improve speech production, auditory comprehension, vocabulary and basic concepts in a forced-choice (FO2) format. Children learn animal names, verbs, and early concepts such as over/under, happy/sad. They respond with a tap on the screen to answer the "Show Me" prompt. Great for early language development or children with speech-language disorders with target language age between 2-8 years. A clear speech model is presented for the child to imitate and they can record and play back their own speech. The clinician can choose from three scoring methods. 1. Score each response as correct, distorted or incorrect. 2. Score responses as correct, distorted, substituted, or omitted. 3. Score productions based on whether they are spontaneously correct/incorrect or imitatively correct/incorrect. This app uses the content from the Show Me game from LocuTour’s Look, Listen, and Learn Language CD. There are 30 words in each of three categories: Animals, Contrasts, and Verbs.

Visualization skills are vital for fast and efficient reading comprehension. Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension builds this key skill quickly and efficiently. Visualizing is the ability to create mental pictures in our heads based on the text we read or the words we hear. It is one of the key skills required for reading comprehension. Students who visualize as they read not only have a richer reading experience but can recall what they have read for longer periods of time. Moreover, having a strong mental image of a text allows students to more accurately and effectively answer Higher Order Thinking (HOT) questions, such as inferencing, prediction, etc. If your learner struggles with reading comprehension, working on visualization skills should be high on your list of priorities.
