Best notes:

"This workbook, Visualization Skills, provides step-by-step activities to quickly build the ability to visualize information while reading."

"Visualizing is our ability to create mental pictures in our heads based on the text we read or the words we hear. It is one of the key skills required for reading comprehension."

"Students who visualize as they read not only have a richer reading experience but can recall what they have read"

"having a strong mental image of a text allows students to more accurately and effectively answer Higher Order Thinking (HOT) questions"

"When identifying an error, make a positive statement and then provide the least information needed for the learner to make a correction."

"Open questions that use a WH word. These are words like WHO, WHAT, WHERE, etc. Answers to these questions are more detailed than answers to simple Yes/No questions.

"Learning happens best when our brains are relaxed, not stressed. "

"‘Visualize’ means using your imagination to make the picture in your mind. For some people, closing their eyes makes it easier to visualize."
