If you have a child who struggles with finding the important characters, setting, and key plot points in a story, I have some free printable story maps you might want to use.
These story maps provide space for children to write down specific information about a work of fiction.
Some of them are very simple and work well with younger children. Others can be used by older kids and teens.
Most of these reading graphic organizers are in printer-friendly black and white, however, one is in color.
