word choice.
o Remember KISS, keep it simple silly!
• Working with fine motor skills
o Make sure you are aware of simple things, like line distance and space, a 1st grader needs larger spaces to write where as a 4th graders has the fine motor skills to write in smaller spaces.
• It’s VISUAL
o Make sure your layout is understandable and clear. Make sure the visual isn’t a distraction, remember the key here is the organizer will help focus and organize thought.
o With that said, avoid creating a meatball sundae. This is design speak for- please limit yourself to only use 1 or 2 fonts! Adjust size to create emphasis.

o Cross check your organizers with reading and literacy teachers, they are there to help you and have specialized training in those areas.
