SUMMARY
Kidspiration is a unique program which allows children to organise their thoughts and ideas visually using a very user friendly interface. The program helps show children the benefits of organising and planning before they begin writing. It replaces the constant reminder by teachers to students about being organised. By writing or putting pictures into thought bubbles the children can organise ideas for essays, projects or revision. It allows a child or a group of children to brainstorm ideas with either pictures or words. With the pictures available it removes any fear or anxiety a non reader or a weak reader might have had about the program.
