Learners create a mental image from a text read/viewed/heard. Visualising brings the text to life, engages the imagination and uses all of the senses.
Some helpful questions/statements to ask your child:
- What are the pictures you have in your head as you read/view/listen to this text?
- Can you describe the picture or image you made while you read/heard that part?
- How did the pictures in your head help you to understand the text?
