Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension by Janine Toole

Does your learner need help with reading comprehension?

Visualization is the ability to create mental images from text and is vital for fast and efficient comprehension.

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.

Moreover, having a strong mental image of a text allows students to more accurately and effectively answer Higher Order Thinking (HOT) questions, such as inferencing, prediction, etc.

The Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension workbook provides step-by-step activities to quickly build the ability to visualize information while reading. Key features include:
