Reading comprehension is a difficult skill for may students, regardless of their ability to read the words on a page. Although this task is the ultimate goal of reading, there are not many programs that actually teach the skills of understanding printed material. "The Power of Visual Imagery. A Reading Comprehension Program for Students with Reading Difficulties" includes the theroretical underpinnings as well as the actual lesson plans for teachers to use independently or with their current language arts program. Based on the recent changes in IDEA 2004, schools are now encouraged to use research-based effective instructional methods in classrooms when determining the presence of a disability, in order to measure the students response to instruction (RTI) While methodology included in this book can be quite useful in determining RTI, it has also been shown to be effective with traditional learners in large groups, small groups, or individually. Once mastered, students ar encouraged to continue using this technique to help them become more automatic and independent readers..

"The cartoons are great! Michael Giangreco has done it again with his third book of right-on-target cartoons that make their points better and faster than most lectures."
—Irene R. McEwen, Professor
University of Oklahoma
Health Sciences Center

"Insightful and provocative humor! The cartoons spark smiles and a bit of reflection. Used in workshops and seminars, they initiate laughter. But more important, they prompt conversation."
—Jane Goldoski, Staff Development Specialist
Milwaukee Public Schools, WI

"Michael makes me laugh. We need more laughter in the world. As important, Michael makes me think. We need more of that too. Tilting the horizon, this book clears the mind, providing space for better thinking. Thinking, especially creative thinking, most often begets effective change and, in education today, isn't that what children—all children—deserve more than anything?"
