Free Graphic Organizers for Reading Comprehension: Digital and Printable

Graphic organizers are proven scaffolds that help students visualize connections, organize complex information, and unlock the “why” behind the text. These are all important steps  to support your students’ reading comprehension.

Introducing ReadWorks Graphic Organizers!  Use them alongside our library of high-quality passages to help students without the prep stress.

Make Thinking Visible

We’ve created a selection of different graphic organizers that can help your students activate knowledge and unlock their understanding of different kinds of texts. Use KWL Charts to activate students' prior knowledge before they tackle a text. Try Venn Diagrams to explore the relationships between ideas within or across passages. Support your students' understanding of important events with Cause & Effect or Sequencing organizers. Deepen student understanding and engagement with these graphic organizers today!

Easy to Use Digitally or in Print

The ReadWorks graphic organizers are interactive and contain fillable text fields. Students can type directly onto them and educators can set up organizers for the whole class before making copies (by adding the title or other labels). These graphic organizers can be used digitally or in print. For younger students, try our organizers with lines.
