Download: Graphic organizers to help kids with reading
Kids who struggle with reading can improve their reading comprehension by using graphic organizers. These simple, visual tools allow kids to break down stories and nonfiction texts. They also help kids keep track of thoughts as they read.
Graphic organizers come in many forms. The six downloads included here are intended for grade-schoolers. But older students may also find them useful. Each graphic organizer comes with a template and a filled-in example.
Kids can use these graphic organizers in one of two ways:
Print them out and fill them in by hand while reading.
Type directly into the organizers and then print them when complete.
