Providing an environment that encourages children to compose and illustrate stories strengthens literacy and increases reading confidence.  Research suggests that building stories through pictures helps children to generate and clarify their ideas.  Digital tools allow learners to draw their own illustrations, select story art that inspires them, or capture and arrange photographs.  With digital tools, students can add text and record their own voices telling the story.  Adding a music soundtrack contributes to the dramatic effect and allows young writers to portray mood. 

 

Many digital storytelling tools are user-friendly and intuitive
