Spin Technology into Your Writing Webs
for primary grade students
Webbing is not just for spiders. Kidspiration™, a webbing, or concept mapping software is a big hit with primary learners. The
themed-based symbols will grab young writer’s imaginations and the speech support will help eliminate emergent readers ’and writers’
frustrations.
- In the Picture View:
- Create concept maps, idea maps, and webs.
- Hold teacher-led brainstorming sessions to capture students’ prior knowledge.
- Pre-write alongside your students, discussing what “fits” in a piece of writing as you visually manipulate symbols.
- In the Writing View:
- After pre-writing, choose the writing view to elaborate on ideas.
- Reorganize student
- writing without tears by dragging text boxes.
- Publish easily to Word™ or AppleWorks™ formats.
Kidspiration also provides pre-made templates to address reading, writing, science, math and social studies. Many teachers use the “Activity Wizard” to create customized lessons based on state standards. Download a free 30-day trial at http://www.inspiration.com.
