We want our students to constantly be tweaking and adding to their mental images. However, it’s not just about seeing one single mental picture. It seems so simple, yet it’s one that kids tend to really get stuck on! I believe that learning the skill of visualization can also help strengthen other challenging reading comprehension strategies such as inferring, predicting, and summarizing.Įssentially, visualizing is creating pictures in our head based on the text that we read or the words that we hear. Today we’re taking a deep dive into one of my favorite reading comprehension strategies…visualization. ![]() Royals 3 rachel hawkins7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Rachel also has a little boy whose main hobbies are playing video games, running around in circles, and plotting his Future Intergalactic Take-Over. ![]() Well, I was chased by an angry reindeer while trying to map parts of Norway."

Gortner7/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I did some preliminary research and discovered Marlene was, as they say, right up my alley. After Mademoiselle Chanel was published, I suggested an idea for a new book that my editor didn’t think would make a great follow-up during our discussions about possible characters, she mentioned Marlene, saying she’d loved how I’d captured her in that now-deleted scene. But during the editing process, my editor thought the Hollywood portion of the novel could be shortened, so the scene where Marlene meets Coco ended up on the cutting room floor. I thought it would be exciting if they met, as I knew Marlene was a later client of Chanel’s. In that book, Chanel goes to Hollywood to design costumes for movies – a brief visit, for which she was paid a lot of money- and at a party for her held by the studio, I read that Marlene attended. ![]() I’m an old movie aficionado, so I’d known about her, mostly by her films, and I became more interested in her when I was writing Mademoiselle Chanel.
