In this lesson, students practiced using special images to provide visual reference that helps clarify the meaning of the text.

You can practice using diagrams and images at home and online. Look for interesting topics that have both text and images to support the text meaning. Assembling toys, following recipes or making crafts are good ways to use text and images to increase comprehension. Drawing pictures about written text can build reading comprehension skills, and can be a great way to include younger siblings in your family reading time!

Reading together can be very special family time for both adults and children!
