Graphic organisers

Relationships between ideas and common patterns

A graphic organiser is an organisational, instructional tool used to help students think about and use text patterns and structures. They can also be used to record prior knowledge about a topic or section of text. Some commonly used graphic organisers are: venn diagrams, concept stars, concept maps, double entry journals, T-charts, KWL charts, story maps, reading overview grids, structured overview and word clusters.

A graphic organiser benefits an ELL student because it is a visual aid. The purpose of these classroom tools is to arrange information so it can be seen in an organised fashion. They are used to support a student’s language learning across all language modes. Read more at: Graphic Organisers Help ELL Students
