Proficient readers spontaneously and purposefully create mental images while and after they read. The images emerge from all five senses and the emotions and are anchored in a reader's prior knowledge.

Proficient readers use images to immerse themselves in rich detail as they read. The detail gives depth and dimension to the reading, engaging the reader more deeply, making the text more memorable.

Proficient readers adapt their images as they continue to read. Images are revised to incorporate new information revealed through the text and new interpretations as they are developed by the reader.
