Graphic organizers allow you to:​

• HEAR IT—talk out loud to yourself all the time while studying (except when reading for speed).
• SEE IT—watch yourself while you write it.
• SAY IT—be aware of your thoughts as you say it out loud.
• WRITE IT—write the information so your mind will see the words and patterns.​

• DO IT—be physically active by reorganizing the information from your notes onto another paper by condensing the information into a pattern.
• comprehend and memorize simple and complicated material easily.
• learn large amounts of material with greater recall.
• recreate these organizers from memory on test papers to greatly reduce stress, combat confusion, and provide direction for essays.

• see the whole picture/end result and how concepts relate to each other or build on each other (right brain). 
• see individual parts/details, how they are broken down to smaller parts, and how they work to make a whole (left brain). 
• use colors, shapes, placement, and words/numbers (quick recognition and long-term factors).
• incorporate all the learning modalities (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic).​
