• Encourage the child to picture an image in
  his/her mind from what he has read or just
  heard.For example,If you are teaching him
  history based on the Paleolithic age, and things
  about early men and all, ask the kid to visualize
  the situation in his/her mind from the
  description itself. Then, ask him to draw it out
  on a piece of paper. Such things do help.
