Visualizing as a Reading Strategy

Visualizing is a reading strategy where you create a mental image or make a drawing or movie in your head about what you've just read to help you remember and understand the text.

Visualizing is another way to help you understand what you are reading. Instead of just thinking about the words, you can use the words to create images, drawings, and movies that show what is happening in the text and what you think is important to remember.
