Case Scenario for Comprehension
Difficulties:
John reads words accurately, but he cannot comprehend. He has difficulty
connecting to the language that he reads or hears. Words go in one
ear and out the other.
Cause:
A primary cause of language comprehension problems is difficulty
in imaging, causing people to get only “parts” of
what they have read or heard. This is called weak concept imagery.
Symptoms:
•Read and reread several times but still
cannot understand or
remember
•Connect to only part of a conversation or story
•Unorganized writing
•Cannot answer questions well
•Weak vocabulary skills
•Ask and re-ask the same question
•Difficulty understanding language-based jokes
•Difficulty following multi-step directions
•Cannot re-tell a story in sequence
•May be labeled as a poor listener or ADD
Solution:
The Reading Therapy Center, Inc. uses the *Visualizing/Verbalizing™ program
to teach imaging and improve comprehension.
