Graphic Organizers to Help Kids
with Writing
Graphic organizers are simple yet powerful tools that can help kids with dysgraphia, executive
functioning issues, and other issues that can cause trouble with writing. A graphic organizer not
only helps break an assignment into smaller steps. It also can help kids organize their thoughts in
a very visual way.
ere are many dierent kinds of graphic organizers. e ve downloadable ones here are
commonly used in grade school, but they can help kids through high school. Each one also
comes with an example of what the graphic organizer looks like when it’s lled in.
All you need to do to use these graphic organizers is print them out. (e designs are also simple
enough that you can quickly draw them by hand.) ese graphic organizers are also llable. So if
your child prefers to type, he can type directly on an organizer and then print it out. Choosing the
right topic is another way you can encourage your child to write more.

1st Step
Get your materials: an empty paper towel roll, peanut butter, birdseed, 2 popsicle sticks
and a piece of yarn or an old shoelace.
2nd Step
Have an adult poke two holes about an inch from the top of the paper towel roll.
3rd Step
Thread the yarn or shoelace through the holes to create a loop.
4th Step
Have an adult cut two sets of slits in the paper towel roll. One set can be an inch from the
bottom of the roll. The other set can be near the middle. These slits are for the popsicle sticks.
5th Step
Insert each stick through the roll so there is room on either end of the stick for birds to
perch on.
6th Step
Spread lots of peanut butter on the paper towel roll.
7th Step
Cover the peanut butter with birdseed.
8th Step
Last Step
Hang your bird feeder outside.
