It seems that, often, poor readers do not 'see' what they are reading in their mind. They aren't making that connection in their brain and are too hung up on reading the words of a story. The good readers tend to picture the characters and action going on, just as if they were watching a movie.

this is merely poor education. when the so-called "poor" kids get more familiar and fluent with grammar, words, meaning, etc. they would be like normal readers; i.e., they just need to read more books, and make more (brain) connections between words and meanings.
....then their imagination will take over.
