Visualising | Reading

Visualising is a reading strategy that involes creating a picture of something in the brain.

The Gruffalo story uses the strategy. The mouse slowly describes the Gruffalos appearance throughout the story. By the end of the story, people should have created a picture in their head of what the Gruffalo looks like.

The Nogard activity, also used the visualising strategy. The Nogard activity includes a description of what a Nogard might be, and at the end of the activity people should've created a visualisation. The Nogard is Dragon spelt backwards.

Visualising can help people with understanding a text.
