Reading Graphic Organizers

Graphic organizers can support all subject areas, languages, and levels of learning. Our collections for primary (grades K-2) and intermediate (grades 3-6) are arranged according to the reading strategy, comprehension skill, or learning process they best facilitate. The majority of the organizers in both collections can be adapted for use in all classrooms and for learners of all abilities. All graphic organizer PDFs are editable for use in a digital classroom environment, or downloadable and printable so students can complete them using pen or pencil.
