Customer Reviews

Great book for helping students organize their thinking.

While this book has lots of examples of graphic organizers and hits on just about every subject area for teachers and students, it's geared more towards high elementary, 4th grade, up to eighth grade. Not that lower or higher grade students and teachers couldn't use the organizers, but those grades seem to be the main focus for these graphic organizing activities
