Visualizing is our ability to create mental pictures in our heads based on the text we read or the words we hear. It is one of the key skills required for reading comprehension.

Jedná se o rozfázovaný přístup ke strategii vytváření představ, od hledání jednotlivých informací (kdy, kde...) až po představu z několika vět. Pro slabší děti může být i zakroužkování a nakreslení onoho "co" (= kdo) z jedné věty těžký. Některé aktivity bych nezvládla (zapamatovat si v představě řadu písmen), potřebuji jinou strategii. Jiné – kreslit v představě podle zadání – byly zajímavé.
