Questions: When the teacher has the students develop a mental image of what is described in the text by promoting questions such as what, when, where, color, size, perspective, background, movement type, sound, and/or how many, which strategy are they practicing? - Summarizing/retelling - Visualizing - Drawing inferences - Activating prior knowledge/predicting

The answer is Visualizing

Summarizing or retelling involves condensing the main ideas or events of a text into a shorter form, focusing on the key points. It does not specifically involve creating mental images based on descriptive details.

Visualizing is the strategy where students create mental images of the text they are reading. By asking questions about what, when, where, color, size, perspective, background, movement type, sound, and/or how many, the teacher is encouraging students to form detailed mental pictures, which is the essence of visualizing.

Drawing inferences involves reading between the lines to understand implicit meanings or conclusions that are not directly stated in the text. It is more about understanding underlying messages rather than creating mental images.

Activating prior knowledge and predicting involves using what students already know to make predictions about the text. This strategy is about connecting past knowledge to new information, not about forming mental images.
