Journaling should be an enjoyable, rewarding and reflective process but for some children who hate to write, well it’s a challenge to get them to do it! Hopefully by using a PowerPoint, they will find that it more acceptable than writing but with the same benefits. You can also use accessibility add ons such as speech to text if your child is not keen to type.

Parents – take a look at: https://blogs.microsoft.com/accessibility/inclusive-remote-learning/ for accessibility ideas.

I have always considered that the non or reluctant writers are some of the children that need the most reflection as they don’t have writing as an outlet. The point is getting your feelings down – it doesn’t matter how you do it! This PowerPoint is designed for approximately age 7-11 but they can of course use the prompts to design their own PowerPoint.

Also, this is of course free. You can keep adding pages unlike a book so it can be as long as you like!

Hope you like it.
