What does it do? Kidspiration includes many tools to help K-3 students map, web, organize, and display ideas visually. Create graphic organizers, concept maps, and other diagrams with special formatting tools and a huge symbol library. All menus, buttons and text is supported by audio so kids can hear what they create. | |
How does this link to early literacy? Organizing information into visual displays increases understanding of new ideas and helps children see relationships between concepts. The use of pictoral images improve recall for learners and the use of Kidspiration's special writing view helps young children expand their ideas into written expression. Tasks completed in Kidspiration before, during and after interacting with others or with a piece of text can aid in categorizing, comparing, and synthesizing information. | |
