Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston UniversityThe purpose of this study was to determine the
relationship of mental imagery to reading comprehension
of third grade children. The paragraphs used for the
imagery study were taken from the stories tested for
reading comprehension.
Throughout this study, mental imagery shall be
considered to be an image which a child reports after
hearing the paragraphs read to him by the examiner.
During the testing period there is an opportunity for
the child to report the images he perceives, whether
it be of a visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, or
kinaesthetic nature
