Introduction
The Encyclopedia of Language Arts Blackline Masters is a convenient, ready-to-use compilation

of graphic organizing tools specifically for literacy development. Each page is arranged for easy
reproduction as worksheets or overhead transparencies. Tabs are used to categorize these visual
tools into five sections for quick location. The graphic organizers within each tab include:
< Vocabulary Development

< Narrative Writing
< Expository Writing
< Persuasive Writing
< Reflective Writing
Unlike other tools, graphic organizers are flexible and can be utilized for more than one purpose.
Every topic can be used for both reading and writing. Teachers can easily incorporate these
blackline masters into instructional activities to help students generate visual maps throughout the
reading and writing process. Graphic organizers can visually show the order and completeness of
thought processes; connections, and meaning making. Other uses facilitate student development in
organization, identification of story elements, vocabulary-building and word choice, comparison and
contrast, cause and effect, sequence, and analysis. Graphic organizers make great assessment tools
to check for student understanding and to quickly identify misunderstandings. The versatility of the
Encyclopedia of Language Arts Blackline Masters book offers endless possibilities for instruction,
activities and projects.
Research-based practice relies on graphic organizers as powerful tools to help students organize
and extend their thinking throughout the learning process. Capturing your students’ thinking process
and providing them with visual tools to facilitate student understanding is what the Encyclopedia of
Language Arts Blackline Masters is all about.
