Pre-Reading Graphic Organizers to Support Your Teaching

The blog post titled “7 Pre-Reading Scaffolds for Struggling Readers” outlined seven effective pre-reading scaffolds first detailed in Kylene Beers’ new edition of When Kids Can’t Read—What Teachers Can Do.

“Pre-reading scaffolds help students anticipate the topic, familiarize themselves with key vocabulary, and activate their background knowledge. This pre-reading stage can be a game-changer for struggling readers, providing them with the necessary tools to navigate the text with greater confidence and comprehension.”

To complement this blog post, we’re offering a free set of graphic organizers that are paired with those pre-reading scaffolds. Here are the graphic organizers you’ll get:
