Both the grade 1/2 class, and the grade 3/4 class are working on visualising as we are reading. Students have discovered that they "make a movie" in their head while reading. They have also noticed that at times they use their other senses and can imagine the smell, touch, taste, or sounds that are described in a book. Finally students have been comparing their visuals and have discovered that sometimes perspectives are slightly different and we may read the same text but have inserted our own details that aren't discussed in the text. As students are reading at home you may wish to ask them to explain what they are visualising from a story.
