    Reading Strategy:

    Graphic Organizers

    Graphic organizers show readers how to display relationships of ideas with diagrams, pictorial devices, or story maps. These techniques are often used to in­struct readers to organize their ideas with graphic representations of what they read.  Graphic organizers help readers learn text structures, focus on concepts and relations between concepts, construct tools to represent text relationships visually, and assist in writing well-orga­nized summaries. Graphic organizers are appropriate for expository (explanatory) texts in content ar­eas such as science or social studies.
