Reading Comprehension: Visualization

Did you know that Michael Phelps uses imagery within his mind before a race?

Oprah Winfrey also visualizes what she wants before going after it (and getting it!).

Our minds are amazingly powerful!

Although the kind of visualization that they are partaking in is a bit different from what we are talking about with reading, the concept of creating an image in your mind is consistent and powerful for winning races, succeeding in business, and understanding what you’re reading!

In this video, I explain that when we read, it is critically important that we create an image or a “movie” in our minds of what we are reading in order to understand it.

Have you ever thought about the need for some kids to be taught visualization? Did you notice that you were doing it?
