About this resource

If you want to give students extra practice with reading and writing skills. I have just the resource for you.

What You Get:

This is a Spider Diagram Worksheet that was designed for elementary students who are working on or have mastered this skill. It also works well as a review for students. This is a 1-page printable.

How To Implement This Resource:

You can print off enough copies of the worksheets for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry erase markers to complete the worksheet. This makes a great small group or reading centre activity.

The Spider Diagram Worksheet is a blank template that features multiple webs for students to complete. This graphic organizer can be used with just about any topic. Students will write the topic in the middle and then complete the diagram as it continually stretches out.

I hope you enjoy!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students will generate and record ideas related to a given topic using a spider-diagram graphic organizer.

Teaching tips

  • Since the topic circle is left blank, write in the day's topic before copying, or have students fill it in themselves at the start of a brainstorming session.

  • The eight legs work well for pre-writing brainstorms, vocabulary webs, or grouping supporting details before drafting a paragraph.

Skills covered

  • Idea generation and organization — students brainstorm and record up to eight ideas connected to a central topic.

  • Graphic-organizer use — students practice structuring information visually before writing.
