A Frayer Model is a graphic organizer that helps students determine or clarify the meaning of vocabulary words encountered while listening, reading, and viewing texts. It is used before reading to activate background knowledge, during reading to monitor vocabulary, or after reading to assess vocabulary. This strategy supports students’ acquisition of new words and using resource materials by providing students with a structure to examine words for their definitions, characteristics, examples, and non-examples.

There are several different digital templates of the Frayer Model.
