Why is visualization important
for comprehension and what
are the different forms?
Readers create images in
their minds that reflect or
represent the ideas in the
text. These images may
include any of the five
senses and serve to
enhance understanding of
the text
Students who visualize
as they read not only
have a richer reading
experience but can
recall what they have
read for longer periods
of time.
How do children develop
comprehension strategies like
visualization?
