How to Use These Graphic Organizers

To begin, make sure you model the graphic organizers. You will want students to see a completed organizer before they work on their own. This will help them see what is expected.

In a kindergarten setting, you might enlarge as posters and complete as a class.  

Another idea is to laminate and use during small group instruction with teacher support.

Remember, if you are asking your students to write on the organizers, provide support.

For example, you might give students a word bank with words they could need for the task. 

In kindergarten, you will have many students not yet ready to complete these without help.

These 22 graphic organizers will help with these standards:
