Have you every read a story to yourself and afterwards thought I am not sure what it said or were unable to answer questions or retell what you read. The program Visualizing and Verbalizing is used to address these issues. This program involves students creating pictures or movies in their head as they read. The steps of Visualizing and Verbalizing are:picture to picture, word imaging, single sentence imaging, sentence by sentence imaging, sentence by sentence imaging with higher order thinking, multiple sentence, whole paragraph, paragraph by paragraph and page imaging. In the beginning students are provided a picture which the teacher or educator can not see. The student describes the picture and the teacher questions for details. A number of structure words - what, size, color, number, shape, where, movement, mood, background, perspective, when and sound are used to get details. The teacher summarizes what they heard and then see the picture. A discussion develops of what the teacher was picturing and what details they were missing in their picture. After the picture stage, the word and single sentence imaging work off the structure words as well. Students are taught to do this process sentence by sentence - visualizing what they are reading using structure words. As their visualizing abilities are strengthened, the passages get longer and higher order thinking is displayed. The ultimate goal of this program is that a student will be able to read a passage and retell/answer comprehension questions - recall, infering, and personal response.
