什么是Graphic Organizers for Reading Comprehension，以下是英文原版的介绍：
For many children, reading comprehension is a challenge.They haven’t learned to visualize the text yet, they are facing vocabulary words that may distract them from the meaning of what they are reading, and they may feel overwhelmed by the amount of words on the page.It may feel like they are doing a lot of things all at once, which is why they need a way to organize their thoughts.
You may have spoken with your child’s teacher and heard the term “graphic organizer.”A graphic organizer is essentially just a tool, usually on a worksheet or in digital form, that provides ways to arrange and keep track of information in a way that communicates through pictures, diagrams, charts, or other visuals instead of just text or spoken language.There are many types of common graphic organizers, among the most popular strategies like mind maps, Venn Diagrams, and KWL charts.
Graphic organizers are the teacher’s best friend.They are quick and simple to make, they provide good visuals for students who need multisensory input, and they prescribe a structure for students to take notes.Graphic organizers require students to stop and think about what is important while they are reading, and it also gives them something tangible to complete.Many types of graphic organizers can be easily converted into writing assignments after they have been completed. They have uses for students of all ages.
就是母语是英语的孩子，阅读理解也是一个挑战。因为他们还没有学会如何把看到的文字图形化，进而记忆并储存。当他们看完一篇故事或一本书之后，他们对细节的理解是碎片化的，这不利于他们用自己的语言从新组织故事情节或回答文章细节的问题。如果用这个非常有名的“图形管理器”，就会使他们的学习效率事倍功半，一旦孩子掌握了图形管理器，对呀他们的写作也是如有神助。常见的图形组织者有很多类型，其中最流行的策略包括思维导图，维恩图和KWL图。下面是英文介绍：
Graphic organizers can easily be implemented at home, as well.Here are some examples that I think would be a good fit:
KWL-chart-300x245.,
KWL ChartsA KWL chart is best used for reading non-fiction, which is the type of reading that students tend to have the most challenge with in terms of comprehension.It has three columns with blanks underneath, titled as “K,” “W,” and “L” at the top.K stands for “Know” as in, “What I already Know,” W stands for “Want to Know,” or “Wonder,” and L stands for “Learn,” as in “What I Learned.”
The student fills out the first two section as a pre-reading activity but can add to the W column as new questions arise throughout the reading.This encourages interaction with the text, making predictions, and making connections.This can be done in full sentences or in bullet points depending on what would benefit the individual student the most.
The L section is for after reading.This allows the reader to stop and reflect, process the information they just read, and decide what was most important.
Concept Mapping
Concept mapping is great for critical thinking and making connections.For younger children, you can start with a template that has several empty circles with lines connecting them. Older children can just use a large piece of blank paper and draw their own bubbles.
Concept mapping basically involves recording an important term, event, or detail in the reading into one circle, and then connecting it to another related term event, or detail in another circle.The student should always be thinking about how the terms are connected, and can write a brief description of how they relate on the connecting line.
Again, this method always forces the student to think about, process, and interact with information as it is being read.Interaction with the text is key for reading comprehension.
Inspiration and Kidspiration are two great software programs that can be used for concept mapping.
Reading Comprehension Sequence Chains
These graphic organizers are great for keeping track of the order in which things happened in the story.The organizer is basically a series of boxes or circles connected by arrows going from left to right, implying a sequence.In each box, the child would either write or draw important events in the order that they occurred in the reading.Again, this causes the reader to stop, process, and think about what is important.
Older students can create comic strips to represent what they read.This is especially good if you have an artistic child who is always doodling in their notebooks.
Another way to use Sequence Chains to promote critical thinking in older students is to alter the G.O. a bit to represent cause and effect instead of a sequence of events.
这本书是54页，每一页都是一个图形管理器的模板，家长讲故事或做阅读理解的时候可以起发孩子用适合的模板来抓取重要的信息，而且孩子一看就能懂，非常清晰。希望我的分享给您的孩子带来愉快的学习体验，也可以把它提供给英语老师，这个是国外小学老师每天都要用的神器。
