IDEAS FOR PROVIDING EXTRA SUPPORT
For All Children: Please do not be concerned with neatness or correct gram- mar/spelling. When children have experienced a traumatic event, their drawings can be messy. This helps them to express their hard feelings. Be positive about whatever they draw/write. have children describe their pictures and read their writings to you. Be an active and empathetic listener!
For Children Who hAve TrouBle WriTing: have children draw their ideas and you can label them, or dictate what they want to say and you can record it.
For non-reAders: You can draw symbols along with the words they dictate.
For reluCTAnT PArTiCiPAnTs: encourage children to try to draw or write one idea and then take a break. Motivate them by drawing/writing along with them. Children might also benefit from playing/acting out their answers when appropriate.
