The invention relates to a preparing method of a high-branch type polyvinyl alcohol-acrylamide graft copolymer. The preparing method includes: dissolving polyvinyl alcohol with water, feeding nitrogen, cooling, adding a catalyst, reacting for 10-30 min, adding dropwise a monomer mixture solution with the adding time being controlled to be 30-90 min and the reaction temperature during addition being controlled to be 65-95 DEG C, reacting at 85-95 DEG C for 20-30 min after the addition is finished, adding the catalyst, reacting at 80-95 DEG C for 15-25 min, adding the catalyst, sampling in the reaction process and measuring viscosity, adding a terminating agent when the viscosity at 25 DEG C reaches 1500-15000 mPa*s to stop the reaction, and adjusting the solid content. The graft copolymer has characteristics of high molecular weight, more branches, low viscosity, less gel, good retention property, and high interference resistance to hetero-ion, and can achieve satisfied enhancing effects even when being used as a papermaking dry strength agent in a bad high-temperature high-conductivity environment for manufacturing paper with pulp.
