At Total Communication Singapore, our Language & Literacy Development Programme supports the skills behind confident reading, comprehension, spelling and written expression. By combining Visualising & Verbalising® and Seeing Stars®, we help children strengthen language comprehension, mental imagery, word recognition and other foundations that support meaningful learning.
