This is neat, but why?
Why visualize?

14. 3/22/2017 Prem Kumar Soni 14
Here are three reasons:
Visualizing helps us to process
text more actively. Because we
have to use our prior knowledge
to visualize, we are reading more
carefully
Visualizing can help you to figure
out what is going on in the story
Visualizing is fun!
