A KWL chart is a graphic organizer that helps students track their learning on a specific topic before, during, and after instruction.
In a KWL chart, students record what they already know about a topic, what they want to know or wonder about, and what they learn as instruction progresses. This structure encourages students to activate prior knowledge, ask meaningful questions, and reflect on new learning.
KWL charts are effective tools for actively engaging students in the learning process. They help students recall and organize prior knowledge, make personal connections to content, promote higher-level thinking, and spark curiosity. They also provide a simple and organized way for students to take notes, track learning progress, and improve reading comprehension.
This KWL chart can be used with any subject, topic, or lesson and is easy to implement across grade levels, making it a versatile addition to any classroom.
