Six organizers to use with any story, on plain notebook lines. Page 1 is a plot line, page 2 the theme and its details, page 3 a summary, page 4 a character in depth, page 5 quotes from the text beside what the student thinks, and page 6 a novel chapter by chapter.
Use the plot line and theme pages with a short story read in one sitting, and the chapter page alongside a class novel, a row a chapter. Model page 5 with one quote first: what you think, then the exact words that show it.
Ask your child what a book they are reading is really about, beyond what happens. Then ask what part of the book made them think so.
Graphic organizers to use with any story or novel: a plot line, theme and the details that show it, a summary, a character in depth, quoting the text, and chapter by chapter. Students trace a story's plot, back up a theme and a character with details and quotes, and summarize.
