Are there times when you want to use graphic organizers for reading in your classroom and don't have time to create them? Tools4Students is a great iPad app that contains 25 different templates for reading skills. You can choose from Cause/Effect to Story Elements to Fact/Opinion. All 25 colorful graphic organizers are excellent for digital learning.
The app is so inexpensive for all the activities you receive. All of your Common Core comprehension skills are covered. Plus, you can use these templates over and over again. Teachers, you can even use these as a group activity or as a way to differentiate instruction. Just select the template you want individual students to complete.
Students can set up their default graphic organizers with their name and the way they will be saved. (pdf or png) Each student will select the graphic organizer you've assigned, fill in the the graphic organizer and email it, link to your Dropbox or Google Drive. If you don't want the students to fill out the graphic organizers from their iPads, just print them out and students can fill them out by pen or pencil.
With the "Making Predictions" Graphic Organizer, students can make their prediction and then check "yes or no" if they were correct or not with their prediction. Love it!

This looks GREAT, Sandy! I wish we could download paid apps in our district :( I'm going to download it on my iPad and play around. Thanks for sharing:)
