Learning to Visualize and Make Mental Images

We have begun our unit on visualizing. Visualizing is important for reading comprehension and for reading strategies. Below is a newsletter about how you can help your child practice at home. I did not write this beautiful newsletter- it was written by Jennifer Jones at www.hellofirstgrade.org. Teacher Note: I did have to convert the adobe file to a jpeg file at zamzar.com. Thanks!


These are the books we will be reading to practice visualizing in our classroom.

Spirit Night!
