QUESTIONING
Readers who spontaneously question as they read engage with the text, read thoughtfully, with better comprehension, and have a constant sense of expectation and anticipation. This questioning triggers the other thinking skills, enabling the reader to:
make inferences and predictions focus on the relevant information make connections
summarise and integrate information visualise and re ect.
VISUALISATION
Visualisation is the ability to create a mental image of something that is not seen, but which can be pictured in the mind. It is a cognitive strategy which we subconsciously engage in various situations. The reader draws on everything he or she knows and stands for, in order to create meaning from the text.
Visualisation, therefore, enables the reader to develop a personal, unique meaning and understanding of the text.
