The Reading Graphic Organizer (RGO) is a tool that builds academic reading comprehension skills, and it has been successfully used in a variety of disciplines at PLNU. This page is dedicated to providing faculty with various resources related to the successful implementation and use of the RGO in their courses. For one-to-one help with designing and implementing an RGO that fits your discipline and course, please reach out directly to the Center for Teaching and Learning.
