I was brain damaged as a child, and recovered slowly. Reading was difficult for me, until it finally clicked. Phonics helped. Now I am an avid reader, reading daily. I do visualize, hear, etc, as I read. I have friends who say they don't, and they are poor readers. some of them are dyslexics, or have ADHD. The younger one can make the connection between reading, and imagining, the better it works. With my young nieces, and nephews, I often showed them movies, or TV shows, of things I planned to have them read later on. It seemed to help them with everything from The Cat In The Hat to the Harry Potter books. Eventually, they were able to clearly visualize while reading books they had not seen versions of on TV first.
