This book was released on 2007 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The students in my social studies class had difficulty comprehending information from textbooks and other nonfiction reading. Graphic organizers, a general teaching tool that visual or spatial representations of the text, have been identified as tools to aid comprehension. The purpose of this study was to see if graphic organizers would improve the retention of information obtained from a social studies textbook. Graphic organizers were implemented in a sixth grade classroom over a seven week period during the fall of 2007 at Monticello Middle School. Three different types of graphic organizers were implemented in a sixth grade social studies unit on the Stone Ages and early cultures. The study consisted of two sixth grade classes, each with 23 students. One class received the treatment of the graphic organizers and the other class did not. The research administered in initial survey and a pretest to rate the students' knowledge of graphic organizers and the unit topic. The students were taught how to use the graphic organizers through explicit, whole class instruction and were used in conjunction with the textbook. A multiple-choice posttest and survey were given and results were compared between the two classes. Results indicated a significant increase in the comprehension of the text of the students involved in the treatment group.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students on the autism spectrum display a strong ability to process and comprehend information at elevated levels when presented with it visually. Despite this, students who have autism are increasingly being educated in general education content classrooms that utilize lessons directed to whole groups of students and limit the use of visually presented material. For some students with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), this presentation introduces difficulties related to attention as well as comprehension and retention of material. Research indicates promising results associated with using a graphic organizer to increase comprehension accuracy in students who answer wh-questions following the reading of a short passage. The purpose of this study was to document the relationship between using a graphic organizer and increasing reading comprehension. The study employed a single-subject multiple baseline design across participants to evaluate if the use of a graphic organizer impacted the correctness of answering wh-questions for grade-level social studies content. Participants included four eighth grade students in an urban public school who had been diagnosed with ASD. Results supported research by showing an increase in comprehension skills with the use of a graphic organizer.
