I learned about the method of mind-mapping when I was looking for ways to help Jerrie improve her comprehending skills. I don't know fully the mechanics of it, but what was taught to her has helped her tremendously.
1) Tell them mindmapping is about drawing pictures for what they read and understand about the passage. And it's a method that will help them understand and remember the story better.
2) Start with drawing pictures on paper and tell them to imagine that the paper is their brain, and they have to put those pictures in their brain. Let them see how on paper each picture is connected to other pictures.
3) Then progress to help them form pictures in their mind. Starting can be slow but as they practise more, they would be able to do it faster and more naturally.
By the time they have to tackle the questions, they would have established in their mind a colourful picture of the story that would help them answer more confidently and accuratley.
