Visualising Reading Unit – Year 2

Make visualising clear, practical and engaging for Year 2 readers. This ready-to-teach unit guides students from explicit modelling to supported practice, partner discussion, games, independent worksheets and assessment.

Students learn to identify vivid words, connect those clues with what they already know, imagine sensory details and change a mental picture when new information appears. The sequence is designed for whole-class comprehension lessons, guided reading, literacy rotations, targeted support and formative assessment.
