Comprehension Strategy - Visualising Year 4

Teach visualising as an active reading strategy with a complete, classroom-ready Year 4 English unit. Students learn to notice precise language, use all five senses, connect prior experience, combine clues with prior knowledge and revise a mental image when new information appears.

The sequence moves from explicit teaching through supported fiction and non-fiction practice, partner comparison, descriptive-language games, inference tasks and an original assessment.
