Encourages Academic Success - Since readers are actively engaged, they will be more connected to the subject matter
Enhances Learning - Many graphic organizers tend to draw on a reader's prior knowledge of the subject matter. High prior understanding has been associated with better comprehension and enhanced learner interest
