{Review} Comprehending and Verbalizing Visual Clues

The ability to learn by observation improves social interaction, comprehension, and vocabulary.  This skill affects a child's ability to interact with the world around them.  "Comprehending and Verbalizing Visual Cues" by Great Ideas for Teaching is a fantastic resource that helps a child target this important skill.

This material is designed for children ages 3 1/2 - 7 years old who have difficulty interpreting pictures and events, which subsequently affects their ability to talk about these things.

This book includes 30 2-page lessons that each include a picture sheet with four different pictures of various situations.

The second page in each lesson is the instructor's worksheet.  It includes a basic set of directions, as well as five different questions related to each picture.  (That's 20 questions for each lesson!)  Examples of questions are as follows:

- Is this girl old enough to skate well?  How do you know?
- What is the boy doing?  How do you know?
- Is the ice cream melted?  How do you know?
- Do these children need to be careful?  Why?

What I love about this material:
- It includes 30 different lessons, with 20 different questions for each lesson, for a total of 600 questions!
- I feel like this is a skill that is so often overlooked.  It's great to have a whole book devoted to this skill.
- The actions in the pictures are ones that are very common and are easy to relate to for students.
