Reading Strategies Graphic Organizers
Need some kid-friendly graphic organizers for those reading strategies you work on every day?? Here they are! These were created for 2 reasons: the graphic organizers that are part of our reading program are just blah and some are confusing for even me to follow. So I decided to make them more kid-appealing, as well as user-friendly. Many can be used before, during or after reading. They are great to put at literacy stations after being taught whole group, as well as at small group guided reading time. Some can even be used in writing to help organize ideas. Here's what is included:
1. Characters and Setting
2. Making Connections
3. Asking Questions
4. Creating Images-5 senses
5. Creating Images-the whole picture
