| Summary: | If people can evoke mental images when listening to a story, they can extend the process by turning words on a printed page into speech and evoke images for the "speech on the page." This is an exercise for reading comprehension that does not come naturally but can be worked on deliberately. A few moments of self-observation, when beginning to read a book or an article or when listening to someone talk about something that happened, may yield the awareness of how the first image comes. If teachers can focus on what they do when they read or when they listen to someone speak (because of the inextricable relationship between reading and speaking) and then transfer this into approaches to teaching reading, perhaps they would really help students to read with comprehension. At times problems arise when the material is presented in a style unfamiliar to the reader. In such cases, the grammatical constructions, because they are different from ones habitually used by the person when speaking, interfere with the evocation of images. In these cases students may need help acquiring experience either with subject matter, specialized vocabulary, or different language styles. (NKA) |
