Graphic Organizer
How can a graphic organizer help
reading comprehension?
• Using the organizer to write out the summary of a material.
Notes on Graphic Organizers Graphic organizers show the development of information –
e.g. deductive, inductive, deductive restatement, non-deductive.
Laddering involves placing horizontal and vertical lines next to the main ideas and major supporting details.
Mapping helps you relate ideas. Ideal for brainstorming.
Graphic organizers reduce information to its essentials and serves as an excellent visual representation of a text (short or long selection) or review for exams.
Organizers such as ladders or charts and maps can be used as visual note-taking techniques.
Reminder:Organizers work best if you have a visual aptitude, but all
students can benefit from using these visual techniques as reading or study aids.

• Mapping
• Clustering
• Semantic Webbing
•How to make a web?
•How to make a diagram?
To make a web/diagram:
First, ask —what is it about? The title or the subject of the thesis or topic sentence is your clue to the main topic to write.
If it is a web map, write the main topic in the oval in the middle of the web; the subtopics on the branching ovals
If it is a diagram, write the main topic either on the first or last box, depending on whether it is inductive or deductive
Then, ask - what are the details (subtopics include major and minor details) supporting the main topic of the selection or passage. Write the subtopics (major details ) supporting the main
topic or subject on each box/oval extending from the main topic.
On the lines extending from the box/oval on major details, write the minor details or the subtopics.

Reading Causal analysis patterns 1Several college students end up getting an
incomplete grade or worse failing a course for several reasons. 2Some of them spend more time in their extra-curricular activities than in studying. 3Others are unconcerned with the number of tardiness and absences they incurred. 4In certain situations, there are those who thought they could get away with cheating in exams or passing plagiarized papers. 5But the ultimate cause of failure among students is their inability to address persistent academic problems appropriately and immediately. 6The given are the most common causes and certainly there are many more.

Intensive reading can be attained by following a strategic approach called P2R4S which requires purposeful skimming and scanning as well as engaging previewing before actual reading. R4 stands for reading the text 4 times with each the reader applies certain strategies and techniques which include among others: reading critically or creatively; reciting by recalling and answering questions; and then reviewing by marking ideas. Towards the end, the reader should synthesize to evaluate the material. Finally, rereading can help in bringing out more details and underscoring the salient points. The process is certainly time consuming but being able to get the main ideas and making sense out of them are the keys to effective learning.
