“V” stands for Visualizing and Verbalizing (V\/V), and “dokkai” (\u8aad\u89e3) means reading comprehension. Since putting “visualizing” (= “shikakuka” \u8996\u899a\u5316 in Japanese) and “verbalizing” (“gengoka” \u8a00\u8a9e\u5316) together would be too long, I decided to come up with something easier to pronounce and remember in Japanese tongue. Thus, “V-Dokkai”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visualizing and Verbalizing (V\/V) is a learning method designed to enhance reading comprehension, particularly focusing on the development of visualization skills in children. Grounded in the concept of imagery, it emphasizes the ability to form a complete mental image from language. Through V\/V, children are taught to actively create mental pictures as they engage with spoken or written text. This approach can be particularly beneficial for children facing challenges in comprehending written or spoken language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V\/V has been very helpful for my son. Although the process is very slow, I see a significant progress with his reading comprehension skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not providing subtitles for the “V-Dokkai” series because there are enough resources available in English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s not the case in Japanese, however. I strongly felt the need for the similar learning method in my native language, and while I’m not a professional in education, I thought it could be helpful to others by sharing our experience through YouTube videos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
