Kidspiration is a great tool for helping students up to grade 5 learn how to organize thoughts and outline ideas. Kidspiration can be used for all types of classes - science, social studies, math, etc. There are activities already built into the program and it allows you to create your own.
Want an idea on what it looks like and how to use it? Atomic Learning Library has some great tutorials for both PC and Mac users - click here to go to the portion of the website that has the tutorials - you will need QuickTime and your speakers on to view and listen to them.
