Visualization Activities

Place stop signs in the text as reminders to stop and think in order to visualize.

When you reach the stop sign draw a visualization that you are having. Then share and discuss the similarities and differences between your pictures with another reader's pictures and possibly the illustrator's pictures.

Use silly tools (small eyeballs, the visualizascope, etc.) as reminders to visualize during reading.

Remember asking questions is **assessing** comprehension but sharing your thoughts and discussing provides a great model is an effective way to **teach** comprehension allowing your child to learn how to comprehend.
