Oh I understand now, you mean a "poor reader" = someone with poor reading skills (which can be improved with training). I thought "poor reader" = someone of normal intelligence who is just terminally "bad at reading".

I agree that part of the training should be to internalize the mechanics to the point where the interface (words and letters) become transparent and the concepts flow directly from the page to the brain. I wouldn't call this visualization though: as you said many people are not visual thinkers.
