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:

1. Use graphic organizers to scaffold personal narratives
2. Build pre-story knowledge before reading a book or article
3. Support accurate and meaningful story retells
4. Create parallel stories to promote generalization
