Help your child turn words into pictures

Many students struggle with a common reading problem. They can recognize the individual words in a passage, but they have trouble understanding the overall meaning. Help your elementary schooler learn to visualize. When your child reads to you, describe the images that occur in your mind. Or, help your child draw pictures or diagrams of the story's action. You could even act out the story, and have your child describe what you are doing.
