Which reading strategy involves creating mental pictures while reading?

  1. Summarizing

  2. Constructing mental images

  3. Predicting

  4. Monitoring comprehension

The correct answer is: Constructing mental images

The strategy that involves creating mental pictures while reading is constructing mental images. This technique allows readers to visualize the content of the text, enhancing their understanding and retention of information. By forming mental images, readers engage more deeply with the material, making the reading experience more vivid and relatable. This strategy taps into the reader's imagination and helps in making abstract concepts more concrete, which can be particularly beneficial for comprehending complex texts or narratives.
