Summary
Narrative graphic organizers are a simple tool that can unlock stronger storytelling, richer language samples, and better generalization across therapy sessions. In this episode, I’m sharing four practical ways to use a narrative graphic organizer with students across grade levels—whether you’re targeting personal narratives, story retells, or literacy-based therapy goals. These strategies are easy to implement, highly flexible, and designed to reduce overwhelm while supporting clear narrative structure. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: Use graphic organizers to scaffold personal narratives Build pre-story knowledge before reading a book or article Support accurate and meaningful story retells Create parallel stories to promote generalization If you want to see these strategies in action and grab free graphic organizers, check out my on-demand SLP Summit course for a deeper dive.
