Reading comprehension is a multifaceted skill that requires students to decode text, understand vocabulary, analyze sentence structures, and interpret deeper meanings. Traditional teaching methods often fall short in helping students, especially young learners, develop these skills effectively. This article explores the use of graphic organizers (GOs) as a powerful tool to enhance reading comprehension. Drawing on recent studiesthe article highlights how GOs help students visualize, organize, and internalize information from texts. The article also addresses challenges such as visual literacy issues and the need for proper instruction, offering practical strategies for teachers to implement GOs effectively. Findings from various studies demonstrate significant improvements in reading comprehension scores when GOs are used, particularly in diverse and resource-limited educational settings.
