Following is a detailed description of each program: LiPS® develops phonemic awareness through the use of oral-motor movements to identify the sounds of individual phonemes within words. It does this through the use of a multi-sensory approach to reading. A student is taught to feel the sounds in his/her mouth thereby enabling them to decode words leading to greater fluency. Seeing Stars® is used for improved reading and spelling. It focuses on building a student's symbol imagery or their ability to visualize and recall letters and sight words. This helps to develop phonemic awareness, which leads to proficiency in decoding and sight word recognition. Visualizing and Verbalizing® is designed to develop receptive and expressive language.

The skills acquired in Visualizing and Verbalizing will greatly aid a student in critical thinking, planning and organizing and sequencing.
