Visualization

Visualization is an important reading strategy for first graders.When authors write, they use words to describe information. You can change the information from wordsinto a picture. A picture is easier for your brain to understand and remember. You can see the picture in your mind, or draw
the picture on paper.  We practiced this strategy by listening to a song...."What a Wonderful World".  The students listened a couple times and then I read them the lyrics also.....their visualization pictures came out so cute!
