Vocabulary Graphic Organizers

Enrich students' vocabulary with visual tools that anchor vocabulary instruction. All graphic organizer PDFs are editable for digital use or downloadable and printable for completion.

Instructional Tips

  • Scaffold support: Guide early readers when using graphic organizers and complete them collaboratively. As learners progress, they may benefit from completing the organizers independently.
  • Make connections between old and new information: Support students to:
    • Visually sort new information into familiar categories
    • Analyze the relationships between old and new information
    • Think about information in new ways
    • Review concepts and demonstrate understanding
  • Make the use of graphic organizers a habit: Strategically use in whole-class, small-group, or individual instruction.
