As a result, pupils can display connections between ideas and concept, thus improving the text comprehension. The subjects were primarily Year Five pupils (n = 60) at a suburban school in Kota Kinabalu. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of using graphic organizers as a learning tool to help Year Five pupils organize thoughts and improve reading comprehension. Using a triangular approach to data collection, this 6 week study utilized a Pre-test and Post-test control group design and individual interviews to determine the effects of graphic organizers on pupils' achievement.
