Journals

 

 

A friend made this journal with her daughter during  a trip.

Basically it is an accordian style book, with one folded page for each day of the trip. Making a souvenir like this can be a good way to encourage early writers.

Here is another interesting way of presenting a journal, this time a daily one. In this spiral book, (made from quarter circles taped together), the day of the week is written on one side of each section, and a few words about that day are written on the other. This style might be particularly useful with reluctant writers, who only want to put a few words. Of course you could make the sections much bigger too!
