Abstract: 

A hierarchical model is developing graphicacy in the primary curriculum. The model stresses the importance of a progression in graphical work. As indicated, it was not meant to be a rigid, finalised version; rather it is designed to provide an initial framework for discussion. Readers interested in teaching statistics to young children will find this article an excellent basis for developing their own curriculum plan.
