More Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension Toole, Janine, PhD

Does your learner need help with reading comprehension? Visualization skills are vital for fast and efficient comprehension. More Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension builds on our best-selling 'Visualization Skills' workbook to provide more scaffolded practice for learners building their comprehension skills.

The first quarter of this workbook mimics the step-by-step activities found in the original workbook, building visualization skills from single words to 2-sentence paragraphs. Those who have completed the first workbook can use these early pages as a review. If this section moves too fast for your learner, the original 'Visualization Skills' workbook may be a more successful choice.

The remainder of the book builds skill from 2-sentence paragraphs to short multi-paragraph texts. This positions your learner for a successful transition to real books.

Why are Visualization Skills Important?

Visualizing is our ability to create mental pictures in our heads based on the text we read or the words we hear. It is one of the key skills required for reading 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.

If your learner struggles with reading comprehension, working on visualization skills should be high on your list of priorities.
