Visualization opens up student thinking by using sensory information to stimulate the imagination. Research studies have shown that visualization greatly increases the level and depth of comprehension of both spoken and written words.

Visualization can be a powerful strategy for helping students set goals, picture the steps that need to be taken, consider alternatives, and visualize a plan to achieve their goals. It can take students to places not yet seen in order to: see from another’s point of view, rehearse steps in goal setting and decision making, and reflect on past situations.
Visualization in reading can deepen comprehension and empathy. Visualization in writing and classroom structures can improve communication, decision making, and executive function.
