Synopsis:

Provides teachers with many motivating ideas to use visualization strategies in ways that energize students and enrich comprehension before, during, and after readings.

Picturing scenes, events, settings, characters, and ideas is essential to reading comprehension―but not all students know how to do it.

In this amazing book, a noted educator outlines dozens of engaging, interactive techniques that turn reading into a highly visual, enjoyable experience for proficient and struggling readers alike. Storyboards, main idea tableaux, timelines, picture maps, family trees and other activities enhance skills of inferring, interpreting, and applying what they read. This updated and revised edition is aligned with Common Core State Standards and includes video footage which demonstrates visualization strategies at work in classrooms!
