Introduction Literacy in kindergarten is developed through many kinds of experiences and a broad array of topics. Kindergartners experiment with print in dramatic play areas, writing centers, journals, and collaborative activities. Over the past two decades, the computer Although the computer offers possibilities for creating texts whose form and content are distinctly different from those of conventional print (Reinking, 1994) , most classroom applications for writing still treat the computer screen as a page awaiting inscription. This is probably because the basis of writing and drawing programs, e-mail projects, and web publishing is word-processing, and word-processing applications are easily integrated into the elementary curriculum. Word-processing has been shown to be of value to the young learner. It frees the writer from the laborious task of correcting and recopying and eliminates overattention to form at the expense of content . Young writers are able to devote more concentration to exploring ideas and to interacting with others. The computer also has benefits in promoting writing as a discovery process and in developing logical thought (Daiute, 1988)

AT Basics Tutorials AT Decision Making Resources ... Project Info Writing Home AT Basics Writing Favorite Programs for Beginning Writers (pdf) Favorite Writing Activities We have found several software programs that you can use with students with differing abilities in your classroom. They all contribute to writing skill development by including elements of speech output. This allows students to hear the computer read aloud what they write. They are fun for kids since they also use pictures, drawing utilities, animated words and other visual enhancements to help students write. As literacy development includes writing, reading, speaking and listening, speech input and output clearly enhances the quality of learning. Some programs include a microphone allowing children to input their own voices for storytelling and sound effects.
