Abstract

To address the challenges implicit thinking processes, superficial comprehension, and disconnection between linguistic competence and thinking quality cultivation among students in senior high school English reading teaching, thinking visualization provides an effective solution. This method converts abstract information processing, logical connections, and structural analysis in reading comprehension into intuitive graphics via diverse visual tools. Teachers should flexibly apply various visualization tools throughout all stages of reading teaching, guiding students to systematically sort out texts, analyze logical relations, compare viewpoints, and transfer and apply knowledge. Combined with concrete teaching cases, this paper analyzes the feasibility of applying thinking visualization tools to senior high school English reading teaching, aiming to offer a new perspective for reading instruction.
