摘要：Reading comprehension determines the readers’ level of understanding of a text. The process of comprehending a text requires meaning construction and the integration of the readers’ knowledge, which are fairly challenging for learners of all ages especially young learners. As these crucial reading processes play major importance in reading comprehension, educators are applying a repertoire of reading comprehension strategies to guide young learners in reading. One of the strategies to have seen a significant impact in reading comprehension is visualization. However, not much literature discusses the visualization implementation by considering the aspects of the reading process. This paper, therefore, aims to explore the functions of visualization in assisting reading comprehension among young learners based on the aspects of the reading process. This paper will examine five functions of visualization based on the integration of eight aspects of the reading process in visualization application. This paper will be able to fill the gap in the literature by focusing on which reading process aspects are applied in different types of visualization. In particular, the significance of this paper is to assist teachers in looking through the visualization functions and how these functions impact reading comprehension for young learners.
