Ewoldt. K. B., & Morgan, J. J. (2017). Color-coded graphic organizers for teaching writing to students with learning disabilities. TEACHING Exceptional Children, 49(3), 175–184.
In this article, the authors promote the use of graphic organizers to help improve the writing skills of struggling learners. Covered here are systemic instruction using color-coded organizers, sentence and paragraph creation, the use of prompts, and much more.
Singleton, S. M., & Filce, H. G. (2015). Graphic organizers for secondary students with learning disabilities. TEACHING Exceptional Children, 48(2), 110–117.
In this article, the authors look at the ways in which graphic organizers can be used to help secondary students with disabilities to develop the critical thinking skills required by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Included are notes and tips on selecting graphic organizers for students with disabilities, as well as examples of some of those organizers as they might be used in classrooms, presenting graphic organizers in during a lesson, and much more.

A wide variety of graphic organizers—used across an array of instructional subjects—have been embraced by teachers as a way to improve the learning outcomes of their students. In this concise resource, the authors introduce readers to a number of them, suggest tips for effective implementation, and offer evidence of their effectiveness. An expanded section on instructional context, complete with a host of resources for further review, rounds out the effort.
