Making Mental Images or Visualizing is one of my favorite comprehension strategies to teach my kiddos!
I have written several blog posts about this wonderful strategy to help your student’s reading comprehension. You can find them:
They all have freebies of course!
This book is a great way to show making a mental image!
We talk about how to use the text to make pictures in our heads.
I usually read this book to my kiddos and have them make the pictures in their heads before I ever show them the pictures. We talk about our own pictures, then we see what Sal and Frankie come up with!
The two boys learn that you can’t do nothing! You are always doing something!
We use mental images for lots of different things in our classroom!
We visualize our classroom rules, our procedures, our math problems.
It is a great strategy for following directions as well.
