this app is good for kids who need help with:

Organization

Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task.

What makes Narrato a good organizational tool is the user's ability to create a series of different journals. While a chronological stream of entries has long been the tried-and-true way of presenting a diary or journal, it's also beneficial to have a few different sets of journals centered around a specific theme. Users should make it a point to create themed entries, using the app's categorization features to catalog entries. Due to the nature of diaries and their sometimes free-form, train-of-thought style can make it hard to look back and find a specific entry. But with Narrato, as long as users have sorted their pieces of writing into the proper folders, then they will always be able to retrieve and re-read what they have written.

Self-Awareness

Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings. Improving social skills.

Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, as well as blogging services, have become mediums for writing and sometimes, all-too-public forums for self-expression. With Narrato, users have a proper medium to share their thoughts, but can also pull content for other social media profiles. Users have free reign to say whatever they are feeling, but should be candid with their unabashed musings, with the end goal being a further understanding why they feel the way to do, what compels them to make certain decision -- or more simply -- to document memorable events. Narrato is especially good for bolstering the self-awareness thinking skill with its ability to combine a user's social media feeds into a themed journal folder.

Writing

Aside from the obvious fact that users will be writing in the app, a spell check built into the functionality ensures users are notified when they spell a word incorrectly. Hopefully, users will add more personalized themed journals, into which they will write subject-specific entries. Users can practice writing skills that they are learning in class or simply take a more "free form" approach, mixing a variety of literary and personal styles into a single entry. It's important that students set aside some time each day for writing, and journaling via Narrato offers a fun and highly-engaging platform to do so.
