Five organizers to use with any nonfiction book, read aloud or read together. Children draw in the boxes and write a word or two where they can; the words they need are in the bold print they read. Page 1 is a KWL chart, page 2 the main topic and details, pages 3 and 4 text feature hunts and page 5 a class KWL chart.
Fill in K and W together before a read-aloud and L after it, then let children draw the main topic and details with a partner. For the feature hunts, give each pair a nonfiction book and find the first feature together. Copy page 5 large, or project it, for the class chart.
After reading a book about animals together, ask your child to draw the most important thing they learned and two more things. Point out a picture and its caption, and ask what the caption tells.
Graphic organizers to draw on with any nonfiction book: a KWL chart, main topic and details, and two text feature hunts. Children draw what they know, what they want to know and what they learned, draw a book's main topic, and find each feature by its picture.
