CHAPTER 5
Visualization

Good readers picture what is happening in the text, in their minds, while they read. 

Creating mental pictures, or mind movies, makes the story come alive and helps your child better understand what he/she is reading.

Visualizations come from all five senses and emotions.



To help your child create mental  images, you might ask...

  • What are you picturing in your mind?
  • What is happening in the movie in your head?
  • When you read _______, what did you see/hear/smell/feel?
