Visualization skills are vital for fast and efficient reading comprehension. Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension builds this key skill quickly and efficiently. Visualizing is the 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 for longer periods of time. Moreover, having a strong mental image of a text allows students to more accurately and effectively answer Higher Order Thinking (HOT) questions, such as inferencing, prediction, etc. If your learner struggles with reading comprehension, working on visualization skills should be high on your list of priorities. Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension provides step-by-step activities to quickly build the ability to visualize information while reading. Key details of this app are: - Gradually increments difficulty - Audio instructions support weak readers. - Quality of drawing is unimportant - it’s more about the picture in your mind. - 'At a glance' reporting shows you instantly how your child is doing. The ability to visualize as you read is key for school and learning success. Support your struggling readers with this fun, engaging app that will build your learner’s ability and confidence in this important skill. NOTE: This app requires the presence of a parent or therapist to discuss and evaluate each visualization. Grab this easy-to-use and effective app today and get your learner on the road to success.
