Whether you’re working with a one-on-one learner or group, graphic organizers are powerful visuals to support reading, writing, and comprehension. They help break complex ideas into manageable chunks. Here are three examples, courtesy of Program Coordinator Megan Meeker!
SMART Goal Maps are starting points for any learning journey and help learners and tutors set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. These are ideal for clarifying what success looks like and keeping learning on track.
The 5 Ws organizer focuses on the essentials: What, Who, Why, When, and Where. This simple but powerful tool supports learners as they plan responses. It’s perfect for guiding reading comprehension and to help structure thoughts.
Sequence Writing or Speaking graphic organizers are great for structuring thinking and helping learners plan what to write or say next. It walks users through sequencing ideas logically for clear communication.
