IMAGERY

Purpose: To improve understanding and retention for struggling readers.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Materials: A story with high imagery passages
Procedure:
Do a think-aloud as you read a high imagery passage and describe how you form an image and how forming the image helps you to get a deeper understanding of the passage. Stress the fact that images vary because our background and experiences vary. Guide the class as students create images after reading such passages. Encourage students to explain how visualizing helps them understand the passage.
