Visualizing

In this Literacy theme we are learning about the power and importance of visualizing as we read or listen to stories. 

Today, we practiced visualizing as we listened to  The Salamander Room  by Anne Mazer.  It is a wonderful story for practicing this skill.  We listened to small sections of the story and drew what the author described.  When the book was over, we visualized what happened at the very end and what we thought it would look like.  It was lots of fun!  Ask your child about the story.  You can watch a video of it here.
