Key Terms

Linguistic representation is the word-based means of thinking about and recalling knowledge related to words. Talking and reading presents information linguistically. Non-linguistic representation is expression using images, sound, touch and movement. Graphic organizers combine linguistic and non-linguistic modes to present and organize information. Common types include webs, flowcharts and tables. Manipulatives are concrete objects such as counters, blocks and models
