Visual aids are often used by textbook authors to help readers have a clear understanding of the information they are presenting. Types of visual aids include mind maps, outlines, charts, diagrams, graphs, illustrations, photographs, and timelines. Learning how to read visuals will help you understand and remember the textual information they illustrate. You must be able to recognize the important elements in what you are reading and be able to organize them in a logical and useful format.
