Strategy: Visualization

Strategy: Visualization

Explanation: Visualization is when a student is able to create images for a text like playing a movie in their mind.

How would it look in the classroom:
Students close their eyes while the teacher reads a text and students raise their hand when they see a clear image in their mind.

Students are given a text for independent reading and use post-its, highlighters, or underlining to show where they has strong visual impressions in their mind while reading.

When? : Before, during & after reading
