How do you use a graphic organizer for reading comprehension?

1. Determine what information (sequencing, supporting details, story structure, etc.) you want your students to pull from the text.

2. Model your expectations for exactly how the graphic organizer should be filled out.

3. Instruct your students to fill out the graphic organizer as they are reading or after as a summarizing technique.

You can find many examples and free downloads of graphic organizers. What type of graphic organizers have you used?

I would love to share something I had created … it is a bit similar to your post. I have created a free PDF of 29 or so pages - Summary Frames. It includes a wide variety of graphic organizers
