We have been practicing a reading strategy called “making mental images or visualization” in class this week.  This means that students should be able to make a picture in their mind about what they are reading.  When students can make a picture in their mind, it helps them comprehend (understand) the story better.

In addition, in writing we are using this same strategy.  When author’s write, they write using lots of details, descriptive words, and feelings.  This makes a story interesting.  This weekend your child will have a homework assignment to see how well they can visualize or make a mental image.  Please have your child complete this and bring it back on Monday.  Also, please have your child do their best work!  I can’t wait to see their mental images!

Have a fantastic weekend!
