Question: How can
teaching students to visualize information help improve comprehension?
Answer/Quote: “Consistently
cause students to visualize information.” P. 833.
Quote: “As you read
aloud to students, have them create images.” P. 834.
Quote: “When students
review material or prepare for a quiz, guide them to recall the picture they
previously created.” P. 834.
Quote: “Remember to
apply these visualization strategies to expository as well as narrative
material.” P. 834.
Comment: The idea of visualization also applies to
spelling. Harry Shefter in Six Minutes a Day to Perfect Spelling,” shows
how to “blow up” or enlarge the “trouble spot” in a word that is usually misspelled
(“arGUMent) and then adds a silly association to complete the visualization:
“Never chew GUM in an arGUMent.” RayS.
