KWHL Charts (also called "What I Know" Charts, KWL charts, and Know-Wonder-Learn charts) are a type of chart, a graphic organizer that help the student organize what they know and what they want to learn about a topic before and after the research is done.

A KWHL chart should be used before, during, and after a student reads about a new topic. Filling out this chart prepares a student for reading about a topic, helps in reviewing what has been learned about the material, gives help in obtaining more information, and readies the student to write about what they've learned.

• K stands for what you already KNOW about the subject.
• W stands for what you WANT to learn.
• H stands for figuring out HOW you can learn more about the topic.
• L stands for what you LEARN as you read.
