Frequently asked questions
Why keep a journal?
Writing a little every day builds fluency, vocabulary and confidence, and gives children a calm space to think about their day. Research on expressive writing also links journaling with better mood for many people.
How long should a journal entry be?
Five minutes is enough. For young children, a sentence and a drawing is a great entry. The habit matters more than the length.
