What is Visualization?• Visualizing text is a proven way to improve reading

comprehension.

• Visualization helps readers engage with text in ways that make it personal and memorable. 

• Readers adapt their images as they continue to read."Proficient readers spontaneously and purposely

create mental images while and after they read. The images emerge from all five senses as well as the

emotions and are anchored in a reader's prior knowledge."

-- Keene and Zimmerman, Mosaic of Thought

Why is Visualization Important?“Visualizing strengthens reading comprehension skills as students gain a more thorough

understanding of the text they are reading by consciously using the words to create mental images. As students gain more deliberate practice with this skill, the act of visualizing text becomes automatic. 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. (Harvey & Goudvis 2000)”

“Visualizing text as it is being read or heard also creates personal links between the readers/listeners and text. Readers who can imagine the characters they read about, for instance, may become more involved with what they are reading. This makes for a more meaningful reading experience and promotes continued reading.”

Group Activity

Talk to the students about what Visualization means

"When we read, we must listen to the words and create pictures in our minds to go with the words"

Tell students that good readers make pictures in their heads to go with the words in a book and this helps them understand the story. They make pictures of the people and places described in books.

The more details you make in your mind picture, the easier you’ll remember it.

We will read The Gruffalo by Julie Donaldson without showing the pictures

Stop throughout the story for the students to describe what they think the Gruffalo looks like

If students have a hard time describing what they see, model for them.

As the students describe what they see draw on the butcher paper what they are describing

At the end of the story show how the illustrator drew the Gruffalo

Have students compare and contrast the class Gruffalo with the one in the book

o Talk with students about how they are all different. Most of them combine some of the ideas from the passage and some ideas from the author's head. Each drawing is different because we each make different "connections" to the idea of the Gruffalo. But what is important is that we used what we knew to help us make a picture. This helps us understand the story better.

GranodsA 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.
