About this resource
Description
A KWLS graphic organizer worksheet helps students take charge of their own learning before, during, and after they read. The four letters stand for what I Know, what I Want to know, what I Learned, and what I Still wonder. Readers who stop to think about each step connect new facts to old ones and remember more of what they read.
This KWLS graphic organizer worksheet is a single open-ended page for 3rd grade readers. Students choose a topic or a favorite book and write it on the Topic line. Before reading, they list the facts they already know in the K box and the questions they are curious about in the W box. After reading, they record what they found out in the L box and finish with the questions they still wonder about in the S box. Because every response comes from the child’s own reading, no two finished pages look alike.
What’s Included
- A Name and Date line and a write-in Topic line
- Four labeled boxes for Know, Want to Know, Learned, and Still Wonder
- Seven roomy writing lines in every box
- Clear, kid-friendly directions for each step
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it activates background knowledge, so students start reading with a purpose. Second, writing their own questions keeps readers curious and focused as they look for answers. Third, the Still Wonder box shows that learning does not stop at the last page, and it gives students a natural next step for more reading or research.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this KWLS chart before a new science or social studies unit, with a class read-aloud, or during independent reading time. Have partners compare their K and W boxes, then share the answers they discovered. Save the S box questions and use them to plan a library visit, a research project, or tomorrow’s lesson. At home, parents can pair the page with a nonfiction book from the library.
