Spider Diagram Template – Reading & Writing Sheet

Product description

From the author

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 center activity.

The Spider Diagram Worksheet is a blank template that features one central topic, four subtopic ovals and twelve detail boxes. 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 four subtopic branches and their detail boxes 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 four subtopics and up to three details for each.
Graphic-organizer use — students practice structuring information visually before writing.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Can I use the same page for different subjects?

Yes. The center is blank, so you can supply a reading topic, a science concept, or another subject and ask students to add related ideas.
