Creating Visual & Other Sensory Images
Harvey and Goudvis (2000) describe the benefits of visualizing:
1. Allows the readers to create mental images from the words in the text
2. Enhances meaning with mental imagery
2. Links past experience to the words and ideas in the text
3. Enables readers to place themselves in the story
4. Strengthens a reader’s relationship to the text
5. Stimulates imaginative thinking
6. Heightens engagement with text
7. Brings joy to reading
Second language learners typically have a more difficult time visualizing therefore, teachers need to build more background knowledge and spend more time "front loading" the lesson and building schema with extended visuals.
