  1. Visualizing! A comprehension strategy

  2. Gallery images • Students draw pictures that reflect the text and the pictures are displayed in the classroom. • Example: Story Maps

  3. Academic vocabulary • Students will define an academic word from their text and draw a picture to represent what the word means • Ex – Loathed 

  4. Guided imagery • --Teacher reads a passage aloud • --Asks students to close eyes and visualize the scene • --Teacher asks, “Tell me what you see, hear, smell, taste, feel • --Students share • --Students sketch • --Compare sketches and discuss differences

  5. Dramatize a story • Students act out a scene from the book, or role playing

  6. Two column note taking • Direct quote on one side of page, “I visualize” or “the image I see in my mind” on the other

  7. Quick writes • Become a character from the book, travel to a place in the book

  8. Granods activity • A granod is an animal. It has a long, oval-shaped body. The granod • has a long neck and tail. The top of the neck, back, and tail are covered • by a row of triangular-shaped plates. The granod’s head is shaped like • a long triangle. It has big eyes, and eyebrows that stick out. It also has • big nostrils. Its body is covered with scales. The granod has four short • legs. At the end of each leg is a foot with five long toes. Each toe has a • sharp claw at its end. The granod has two wings attached to its body. • These are located behind the front legs towards the top of its back. • Granods may be many different colors, but usually, they are green and yellow, or red and yellow.

  9. Comprehension through visualization techniques continued • “think aloud” – teacher reflects aloud the meaning of each passage • Guided practice with students – teachers stops at key points and has students visualize • Prompting student use of visualization- teacher cues them to visualize on their own “now we’re going to read….and remember to make pictures in your head.” • Sentence Elaboration

  10. Classroom activity to promote visualization: • Picture chart – Each student gets sheet of paper with 15-20 images on it and they look at it for 10 seconds then get 1 minute (or more) to jot down what they remember seeing.

  11. Informal assessment • Students who are good visualizers are often disappointed with the film version of a book and the actors who perform as the characters. Those who don’t visualize are often amazed by the movie and prefer it to the book.
