The Elementary Teacher's

BIG BOOK of Graphic Organizers

Graphic organizers have proven to be powerful teaching and learning tools that can help students grasp new concepts and save valuable time for teachers. They provide a strong visual picture for students and support their ability to learn facts, information, and new terms.

The Elementary Teacher's Big Book of Graphic Organizers features more than 100 graphic organizers for teachers in grades K–5, twice the amount of any other book on the market. These dynamic graphic organizers can be used as before-learning, during-learning, or after- learning activities. The book's graphic organizers are designed to support students' learning in the major content areas: English language arts, science, social studies, and mathematics. Teachers can use each graphic organizer as-is or customize for their own classroom's unique needs.

This book is a follow-up to McKnight's popular The Teacher's Big Book of Graphic Organizers, Grades 6–12, which won Learning magazine's Teacher's Choice Award for 2013. The book helps elementary teachers:

• Develop vibrant curriculum plans
• Support teaching and student comprehension in learning new material
• Assess classroom achievement
• Build students' learning skills

Each graphic organizer includes an overview explaining how the tool supports student learning; tips for successful classroom implementation; a "Difficulty Dial," which helps teachers quickly determine the complexity of each graphic organizer; and student samples that demonstrate how the organizer may be used with younger and older students. The book is presented in a handy lay-flat binding for easy photocopying or scanning.

Includes access to free downloadable PDF versions of many of the graphic organizers included in this book.
