What to expect
Welcome to The Visual Library
The Visual Library offers a centralized site containing videos and graphic describing how English words are constructed. All the materials in the library have been created by Marie Foley, a literacy instructor who, like her students, is dyslexic.
The purpose of the library is to support educators, parents and students develop an understanding of the underlying logic of English in order to help students improve their reading, spelling and comprehension skills.
As an educator, Marie recognizes that student learning starts with teacher knowledge. To support educators, Marie has also included in the library instructional videos that demonstrate how to integrate morphology and etymology into literacy instruction. Educators will discover how to teach about the writing system using visual narrative to engage the reasoning strengths of dyslexic students and provide them with effective tools to make sense of English.
