Martin KozloffDavid Gill Introduction to Beginning Reading

This presentation describes the main features of well-designed and effective beginning reading instruction. • Five major reading skills, or Big Ideas. • Three kinds of curricula. • Four kinds of assessments. • Systematic and explicit instruction. • Scientific validation of all aspects of instruction (the first four items in this list). • Reading as a school-wide endeavor.

Five Major Reading Skills, or Big Ideas Proficient reading consists of five major skills, or big ideas. When these five skills are taught in a logically progressive sequence, early skills help students to learn and use the later-taught skills. This leads to accurate, rapid reading with comprehension and enjoyment. More information is on the IDEA website, at http://reading.uoregon.edu/big_ideas/trial_bi_index.php Now let’s look at the five main reading skills, or big ideas.

Five Major Reading Skills, or Big Ideas The five major reading skills are: • Phonemic awareness • The Alphabetic principle • Letter-sound correspondence r says rrr • Sounding out, or decoding, words “rim” -> rrriiiimmm -> rim • Fluency • Vocabulary • Comprehension

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Phonemic Awareness Is… The Ability to Hear and to Manipulate the Sounds in Words that affect the meaning of the word. k/a/t. k/i/t Do you here the difference between /a/ and /i/? It is an example of phonological awareness---which is just plain hearing sounds (phones) in words.

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued There are a dozen ways to hear and manipulate phoneme sounds (sounds that affect meaning) in words. These ways are best taught from easier to discern word parts (sounds and syllables) to harder to discern word parts. Which has easier to discern parts? Football, sister, ram, if? For example, 1. Identify words that sound the same and different. run fun sit mouse hat house 2. Rhyme. can, man, fan, rrr__ 3. Count the number of words in a sentence. The dog sat by the cat = 6 words

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued 4. Count the number of sounds (phonemes) in a word. sat = /s/a/t/ = 3 sounds 5. Blend (make) words from separate syllables and sounds. “Listen. ice…..cream. What word?” icecream “Listen. mmm…aaa…nnn. What word?” man 6. Segmentwords by identifying the first, last, and middle (medial) sounds. “What’s the first sound in rrrruuuunnn?”

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued 7. Say what a word would be if one sound were removed (phoneme deletion). “Listen… sssaaaat. Take out ssss. What word now?...” at 8. Say what a word would be if a sound were replaced with another sound. “Listen…. ssssiiiit. Take out ssss and put in fff. What word now?...” fit

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued Caution! • It’s best to work on only three or so kinds of phonemic awareness—not all of them. 2. The best choices are rhyming, segmenting, and blending.

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued • Connect skill at phonemic awareness with instruction on the alphabetic principle— a. letter-sound correspondence m says mmm b. sounding out words raaannn -> ran Specifically…

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued • Don’t work on phonemic awareness by itself for weeks and then work on letter-sound correspondence and sounding out. • Instead, in close succession, when you teach students to hear and manipulate sounds in words, teach them the letters that go with those sounds and then to sound out words made of those letters.

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued • Phonemic awareness helps students to read and to do other literacy skills. • How? • Students who hear and manipulate sounds (phonemes) and syllables in words, and words in sentences, can more easily do the following: • Remember which sound goes with which letter. • Sound out words. cat k/aaaa/t • Say andread sentences smoothly.

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued 4. Spell. “How do you spell cat?” kaaaat. /k/ is c. /a/ is a. /t/ is t. c a t…cat. 5. Detect and correct errors in reading and spelling. “The hou…no hhoorrr…horse ran fast.”

Big Idea 1. Phonemic Awareness: Continued See http://reading.uoregon.edu/pa/index.phpfor more information on phonemic awareness.

Big Idea 2. Alphabetic Principle The Alphabetic Principle is… The Ability to Associate Sounds With Letters and to Use This Knowledge to Read Words. The alphabetic principle (sometimes called phonics) has two skill-parts. 1. The student knows letter-sound (sound-symbol) relationships: m says /mmm/, i says /iii/, and r says /rrr/. 2. The student uses letter-sound knowledge to sound out or decode words—perhaps letter by letter at first and then quickly. “The bike has a bent rrrriiiimmm….rim.”

Big Idea 2. The Alphabetic Principle: Continued When students use letter-sound knowledge to sound out words (the alphabetic principle, or phonics), they know exactly what the written word says. However, • Many students are not taught to use phonics knowledge as the first and most reliable strategy for identifying words. • Many students are not taught phonics in a systematic way.

Big Idea 2. The Alphabetic Principle: Continued Many students are (wrongly!) taught to guess using context cues. “What word fits there?” So, instead of reading words as written (“The bike has a bent rim”) these mistaught students guess… “The bike has a be…be..bell…belt….ri…ri…rip. The bike has a belt rip.”

Big Idea 2. The Alphabetic Principle: Continued When students can’t read words as written (can’t read the letters), they try to guess or “predict” what a word is, using • Pictures on the page. “A cat picture. Billy put on his cat.” [The word is “hat.”] • The shape of a word. “That word looks like it says ‘baby’.” [The word is “maybe.”] • A few letters in the word. The child says “kite” instead of “kit.” • What seems to fit the meaning of a sentence. “The lamp fell…down.” [The word is “over.”]

Big Idea 2. The Alphabetic Principle: Continued Using these “context cues” is NOT reading—any more than guessing answers to math problems is the same as solving problems. “Show your work.” “I can’t.” “Why not?” “I guessed.”

Big Idea 2. The Alphabetic Principle: Continued Students who guess what words say (because they were taught to do this, or because they were not taught phonics systematically, and therefore have to guess), may neverbecome skillful readers. That’s why Reading First stresses thorough, systematic, and explicit instruction in the alphabetic principle. Read more athttp://reading.uoregon.edu/au/index.php

Big Idea 3. Fluency With Text Fluency is… The Effortless, Automatic Ability to Read Words in Connected Text. • Fluency means reading with accuracy, speed, and prosody (pitch, emphasis). • Fluency is important for enjoyment and comprehension. If a person struggles with words such as “guilty” (gu…qu…guil…quil…), the person will also struggle to figure out the meaning of sentences. In fact, dysfluent readers spend so much time and effort trying to figure out what the separate words say, they can barely pay attention to the meaning of the sentence. “The ju..jur….jury found her gu..qu…guil…quil…”) In other words, they learn very little (e.g., vocabulary, ideas) from reading.

Big Idea 3. Fluency With Text: Continued To help students read connected text (e.g., story passages) accurately, quickly, and with prosody, it is important to: • Teach students to decode separate words (regular and irregular) accurately and quickly—which means (1) using knowledge of letter-sound correspondence (not guessing); and (2) blending the sounds into words. 2. Teach students to self-correct. “ssiiib… No sssiiip…sip.”

Big Idea 3. Fluency With Text: Continued 3. Provide practice reading words enough times that it’s almost automatic; that is, the words become “sight words.” 4. Provide practice reading text with which students are already accurate. 5. Encourage students (and model how) to read faster and faster without making errors (i.e., more words correct per minute, or wcpm).

Big Idea 3. Fluency With Text: Continued Note! Sight words are not words a student memorizes. The student still knows how to decode words letter by letter. The student has simply read the words so often that decoding takes only an instant. Learn more about fluency here. http://reading.uoregon.edu/flu/

Big Idea 4. Vocabulary Vocabulary is… Understanding (receptive) and Using (expressive) Words to Gain and Express Meaning. The first three reading skills… • Phonemic awareness • Thealphabetic principle--letter-sound correspondence and the strategy for sounding out or decoding words • Fluency… …have to do with the mechanics of reading. The last two skills—vocabulary and comprehension—have to do with making sense of the written word.

Big Idea 4. Vocabulary: Continued Vocabulary and comprehension can’t be taken for granted. • Many students won’t “pick up”these skills. • Students should betaughtsystematically and explicitly how to get and express the meaning of words and passages. • This is especially important for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. These students • Are read to less often. • Hear fewer vocabulary words, and therefore • Understand and use far fewer words than children born to working class or professional class families.

Big Idea 4. Vocabulary: Continued Here are important methods of vocabulary instruction. 1. Read storybooks to children. 2. Provide direct instruction of new vocabulary words by: • Selecting important words in a story. • Explaining or defining the words. • Giving students many chances to discuss and use the new words.

Big Idea 4. Vocabulary: Continued 3. Teach older students morphemic analysis (analysis of word parts) to determine meaning. For example, “Bisect. Bi means two. Sect means part. So, bisect means divide into two parts.” 4. Teach contextual analysis--inferring the meaning a word from the context in which it occurs. “The fan’s oscillations cooled everyone in the room…Sometimes fans move back and forth. If everyone was cooled, it probably means the fan blew on everyone. So, oscillate probably means to move back and forth.” Find more on vocabulary here. http://reading.uoregon.edu/voc/

Big Idea 5. Comprehension Comprehension is… Reading and Reflecting on a Text to Gain Meaning Sentences don’t tell you what they mean.  Students must interact with the text—for example, 1. Ask questions. “When did Huck see that Jim was more than a slave?” 2. Check to see if the text gives answers. 3. Reread, and modify interpretations. 4. Connect one sentence with later sentences to get the flow of the argument or the flow of events in time. 

Big Idea 5. Comprehension: Continued These comprehension strategies are learned best when taught explicitly.  This means 1. Setting comprehension objectives. For example, students will answer specific literal (who, what, when), inferential (why), and evaluative (what might have happened if…?) questions. 2. Focusing on main ideas in a story or informational text.

Big Idea 5. Comprehension: Continued 3.Preteaching vocabulary words important for comprehending the material. 4. Reading (with students) the material in manageable chunks, and asking literal, inferential, and evaluative questions on each chunk. 5.Using a KWL strategy: students think about and discuss what I know; what I want to know; and what I learned.

A Comprehensive Set of Curriculum Materials No set of curriculum materials (program) is adequate for teaching all five main reading skills to all beginning readers. Materials may have the following weaknesses.

Weaknesses in Curriculum Materials There are two main weaknesses in curriculum materials. • The scope and sequence (what is taught and in what order) may not adequately cover all five skills. For example, there is too little instruction on phonemic awareness; some skills are taught in the wrong order; there is too little review and practice.

Weaknesses in Curricula 2. Materials are designed for the average student, and may not provide the sort of instruction needed by: • Students with little background knowledge; for example, • small vocabulary • little phonemic awareness • little knowledge of letter-sound correspondence • Students with specific difficulties learning to read. For example, some students know how to sound out words, but they take too long to do it. As a result, they can’t keep pace as the teacher points to words on the board and asks the class to read each word quickly.

Weaknesses in Curricula Therefore, a comprehensive reading curriculum will have three sets of materials. Reading First recommends three kinds of curriculum materials, or what is sometimes called the “three-tier model”--which you can read about at the following websites. • http://www.utsystem.edu/EveryChild/Presentations/SVaughnPDF9-9-02.pdf • http://www.texasreading.org/3tier/materials.asp • http://texasreading.tea.state.tx.us/readingfirst/3tiemodreainsint.pdf • http://www.fcrr.org/science/pptpresentations.htm • http://www.fcrr.org/science/publications.htm

Three-Tiered Model The three sets of materials are • Core. For almost all students. • Supplemental. To fill gaps in core materials or to provide additional instruction to certain students. • Intervention. Highly focused, intensive instruction for certain students.

Core Materials in the Three-Tiered Model A core reading program should: • Cover all five main reading skills, or big ideas. • Be designed to be useful for almost all beginning readers. • Be well-designed, in terms of sequencing of skills, practice, and building simpler skills into more complex wholes, to name a few features.

Core Materials: Continued The University of Oregon’s website states: “A core reading program is the primary instructional tool that teachers use to teach children to learn to read and ensure they reach reading levels that meet or exceed grade-level standards. A core program should address the instructional needs of the majority of students in a respective school or district…Adoption of a core does not imply that other materials and strategies are not used to provide a rich, comprehensive program of instruction.”

Core Materials: Continued “The core program, however, should serve as the primary reading program for the school and the expectation is that all teachers within and between the primary grades will use the core program as the base of reading instruction. Such programs may or may not be commercial textbook series… Teaching reading is far more complex than most professionals and laypersons realize. The demands of the phonologic, alphabetic, semantic, and syntactic systems of written language require a careful schedule and sequence of prioritized objectives, explicit strategies, and scaffolds that support students' initial learning and transfer of knowledge and skills to other contexts.”

Core Materials: Continued “The requirements of curriculum construction and instructional design that effectively move children through the ‘learning to read’ stage to the ‘reading to learn’ stage are simply too important to leave to the judgment of individuals. The better the core addresses instructional priorities, the less teachers will need to supplement and modify instruction for the majority of learners.” [http://reading.uoregon.edu/curricula/core_program.php]

Core Materials: Continued Criteria for evaluating core reading programs, and reviews of many core programs, can be found here. • http://reading.uoregon.edu/curricula/index.php • http://reading.uoregon.edu/appendices/con_guide.php • http://reading.uoregon.edu/curricula/or_rfc_review_2.php

Supplemental Materials in the Three-Tiered Model Supplementary curricula or programs are used in two ways. 1. They fill gaps in a core reading program. For example, a core program may have too little instruction on rhyming (one aspect of phonemic awareness), or it may have too few storybooks connected to its instruction on decoding and vocabulary. Therefore, a school or district would purchase or create materials to give the additional instruction.

Supplemental Materials in the Three-Tiered Model 2. A core program may not provide theamount of highly focused instruction some students need on certain skills. For example, some students enter school with a vocabulary so small that they don’t know what the stories are about. Therefore, a school or district might use a supplementary program for accelerating these students’ vocabulary development.

Supplemental Materials in the Three-Tiered Model Caution. It’s important to select core and supplementary materials that are compatible, or at least to train teachers to make them compatible. For example, a core program might tell teachers exactly how to correct errors when students misread words. For example, the word is “made” but a student reads “mad.” “He m….mmm…mad the....” Teacher. “That word is made. What word?”Student. “made.” Teacher. “Spell made.”Student. “m a d e”Teacher. “What word?”Student. “made.”Teacher. “Yes, made. Please start the sentence again, Joey.”

Supplemental Materials in the Three-Tiered Model However, supplementary materials might not tell teachers how to correct reading errors, or they may suggest a different method (format). This will confuse students. So, the school either has to use core and supplemental materials that correct errors the same way, or the school has to decide that teachers will apply to all supplementary materials the error correction format used in the core program.

Intervention Materials in the Three-Tiered Model Intervention programs are designed to meet the needs of students with so little background knowledge or so much difficulty learning to read that they need specially designed instruction and special, additional time for instruction. For example, diagnostic assessment may show that some kindergartners are falling behind, perhaps because their phonemic awareness skills are still so weak. Or, some third graders struggle to comprehend text because they are still weak on basic comprehension skills. In both cases, students would get extra time for interventions, using materials that focus on their skill weaknesses.

Intervention Materials in the Three-Tiered Model Caution. Again, core and intervention materials should be compatible; e.g., both teach the same word identification and comprehension strategies. In addition, teachers must ensure that what students learn during intervention instruction is transferred to general (core) reading instruction. For example, teachers ensure that students are taught to use their new phonemic awareness and comprehension skills when they are with the rest of the class reading storybooks in the core materials. Otherwise, intervention instruction will be of little benefit.

Intervention Materials in the Three-Tiered Model You can read more about supplementary and intervention programs at the following websites. • http://reading.uoregon.edu/curricula/or_rfc_review_si.php • http://readingserver.edb.utexas.edu/downloads/primary/booklets/Essential_Strategies.pdf • http://oregonreadingfirst.uoregon.edu/downloads/S-I_Review_Full_06-23-04.pdf • http://readingserver.edb.utexas.edu/downloads/primary/booklets/supplementTutoringGr3-5.pdf

Four Kinds of Assessments A rulein Reading First is that instruction should be rational and accountable. Teachers need solid information on skills students bring and do not bring to reading instruction, on progress they are making during instruction, and how much progress they made during the year. Without this information, teachers can’t successfully: • Assign students to proper reading groups and to properly trained teachers. • Decide if the core program is adequate or if students need supplemental or intervention instruction (and on exactly which skills). • Decide at the end of the year if students are ready to move to the next year/level of a core program. Therefore, Reading First advocates four kinds of assessments. Each has a different function.

Four Kinds of Assessments: Screening Screening assessment is used when students enter a beginning reading program or at the start of the year. The function is to determine whether a student has the entry skills (e.g., knowledge of the alphabet, phonemic awareness, and vocabulary) that are likely to make instruction in the core program alone adequate, or whether the student has specific skill deficits and learning difficulties that require supplemental and/or intervention instruction.

by Tom Rielly • May 12, 2020

When giving presentations, either on a video conference call or in person, your slides, videos and graphics (or lack of them) can be an important element in helping you tell your story or express your idea. This is the first of a series of blog posts that will give you tips and tricks on how to perfect your visual presentations.

Your job as a presenter is to build your idea -- step-by-step -- in the minds of your audience members. One tool to do that is presentation graphics, such as slides and videos.

Why graphics for your presentation?

A common mistake is using slides or videos as a crutch, even if they don’t actually add anything to your presentation. Not all presentations need graphics. Lots of presentations work wonderfully with just one person standing on a stage telling a story, as demonstrated by many TED Talks.

You should only use slides if they serve a purpose: conveying scientific information, art, and things that are hard to explain without pictures. Once you have decided on using slides, you will have a number of decisions to make. We’ll help you with the basics of making a presentation that is, above all, clear and easy to understand. The most important thing to remember here is: less is more.

Less is so much more

You want to aim for the fewest number of slides, the fewest number of photos, the fewest words per slide, the least cluttered slides and the most white space on your slides. This is the most violated slide rule, but it is the secret to success. Take a look at these examples.

As you can see in the above example, you don’t need fancy backgrounds or extra words to convey a simple concept. If you take “Everything you need to know about Turtles”, and delete “everything you need to know about” leaving just “turtles”, the slide has become much easier for your audience to read, and tells the story with economy.

The above example demonstrates that a single image that fills the entire screen is far more powerful than a slide cluttered with images. A slide with too many images may be detrimental to your presentation. The audience will spend more mental energy trying to sort through the clutter than listening to your presentation. If you need multiple images, then put each one on its own slide. Make each image high-resolution and have it fill the entire screen. If the photos are not the same dimensions as the screen, put them on a black background. Don’t use other colors, especially white.

Your slides will be much more effective if you use the fewest words, characters, and pictures needed to tell your story. Long paragraphs make the audience strain to read them, which means they are not paying attention to you. Your audience may even get stressed if you move on to your next slide before they’ve finished reading your paragraph. The best way to make sure the attention stays on you is to limit word count to no more than 10 words per slide. As presentation expert Nancy Duarte says “any slide with more than 10 words is a document.” If you really do need a longer explanation of something, handouts or follow-up emails are the way to go.

Following a “less is more” approach is one of the simplest things you can do to improve your presentation visuals and the impact of your presentation overall. Make sure your visuals add to your presentation rather than distract from it and get your message across.

Make slides easier to read by using the Reading Order pane

Some people with visual impairments use a screen reader to read the information on the slide. When you create slides, putting the objects in a logical reading order is crucial for screen-reader users to understand the slide. 

Check the reading order of slides

With your presentation open, select Review > Check Accessibility .

Select the Check reading order category in the Warnings section to open the list. When the reading order of the objects on a slide doesn't match one of the common ways objects are spatially ordered, Accessibility Checker lists the slide here.

Point at a slide number in the list, then select the adjoining drop-down arrow. Select the Verify object order command.

This opens the Reading Order pane:

Change the order of objects

Objects are listed in the order that the screen reader will read them in.  The number next to each object indicates the position in the sequence. Objects without a number will be skipped because they are marked decorative .

If the order of the objects isn't logical, people using screen readers will have a difficult time understanding the slide.

To change the order that the objects are read in:

Select one or more items in the list. (Use Ctrl+Click to multi-select).

Drag the selection upward or downward, or click the up arrow ( Move Up ) or down arrow ( Move Down ).

Note:  Changing the order of objects can affect how the slide looks when there are overlapping objects. If the slide does not look the way you want after changing the order, press Ctrl+Z to undo the change. You may still be able to improve how the slide is read by grouping objects in logical units and removing objects from the reading order by marking them decorative.

Group objects into logical units

If you have complex diagrams or illustrations made of many objects, group the objects into logical units. That way, the screen-reader user can read the grouped units rather than all of the individual objects in them. And you'll only need to order the units and not all of the objects in them.

In cases where grouping may be beneficial, a tip appears at the bottom of the Reading Order pane on slides:

To group objects:

In the pane, use Ctrl+Click to select the items you want to group.

On the … Format tab at the right end of the ribbon, select Group > Group (or Arrange > Group > Group ).

After you group the objects, only the group appears in the Reading Order pane, rather than all the objects in it. Click the item and then enter a description for the group.

Caution:  If the objects have animation effects, the animations won't be preserved after you group them.

Add alt text to objects

Alternative text ( alt text ) is descriptive text which conveys the meaning and context of a visual item on the slide. Screen readers will read the alt text aloud, allowing people to better understand what is on the screen.

You don't need to add alt text to text boxes and shapes that have text in them, but all other objects need alt text. In the Reading Order Pane, a warning sign appears next to any item that needs alt text.

To add alt text for the object:

In the Reading Order Pane, click the item to select it.

Click it again to open a text edit box and type a description for the object.  Then press Enter.

The warning sign disappears after you've added the alt text.

Review automatically generated alt text

Pictures inserted in Microsoft 365 may have alt text that was automatically generated. A warning sign appears next to these items to remind you to review and edit the alt text.

Click the item in the Reading Order pane to select it.

Click it again to open a text edit box, then review and edit the description. Remove any comments added there such as Description automatically generated . Then press Enter.

The warning sign should disappear after you remove the comments.

Remove objects from the reading order

Decorative objects add visual interest but aren’t informative (for example, stylistic borders). Screen readers skip over the decorative objects when reading in Slide Show mode.

To mark an object decorative and remove it from the reading order, clear the check box next to the item.

You don't need to change the position of the item in the list. The number next to the item goes away, indicating that it's no longer part of the reading order.

Reading order: PowerPoint presentations

Have you checked the reading order of your ppt slides learn why reading order is important to students who use screen readers or keyboard navigation.

• Share on Twitter
• Share on Facebook
• Share on LinkedIn
• Share on Pinterest

Just like a story sequence has an order – the beginning, middle and end – educational materials should also be read in a logical order. When you visually read through a document, web page or slide presentation, you follow a logical order that matches the visual content on the page: this logical order is typically left to right and top to bottom. But does your screen reader always read items in the correct order? Well, it depends on how the resource was created!

While reading order does apply to documents, web pages and slides in a slide presentation, in this post, we are specifically looking at the reading order of slides in a PowerPoint presentation

Why is reading order important?

Reading order determines the order in which assistive technology will read the content. Logical reading order refers to the sequential arrangement of content in a document, slide or webs page that allows students to comprehend the information in a coherent and meaningful way. Not everyone navigates using a mouse or trackpad. Students who use a screen reader or who have motor disabilities often rely on keyboard navigation. As the student navigates through the slide, the items on the screen should be announced in the correct order, making it easier for the student to understand and follow the given content. For example, if viewing a slide, the title of the slide is given first, providing a quick snippet stating what that slide is about. Depending on the slide, the text content is often given next and then the alt text description of the image. If the order is wrong and the alt text is announced first, the student may struggle trying to figure out the context or what the goal of the slide is. Hearing the title first provides the context and helps the student to mentally organize the information of the slide and how this slide’s content fits into the whole slide presentation.

Slide presentation

The reading order in a slide presentation is a way of putting the various elements on each slide in the correct order. The preset layouts all have the correct reading order; however, if the author adds additional elements such as textboxes, images, audio or video the reading order may no longer be correct. 

When generating your own slide layout or if adding additional elements to the slide, the reading order is determined by the order in which items were placed on each slide. When this occurs, you will need to specifically check the reading order on each slide. 

PowerPoint reading order on a PC

With PowerPoints, use the Check Accessibility tool which scans the entire slide deck for accessibility issues. The Check Accessibility will open a report that includes reading order issues. To check the reading order, open the desired PowerPoint presentation.

• On a PC: Select the Check Reading Order category under the Warnings section to open the list. When the reading order of the elements on a slide does not match the common ways that the elements are spatially ordered, the Accessibility Checker will list the slide number here.
• The elements are listed in the current order and numbered.
• The elements in the list are order as expected, from the top to the bottom.
• Images that are marked as “unchecked” are considered “decorative” and the description of the element will now have the text, “decorative”. The screen reader will not announce decorative items. 
• Select the element with the caution symbol and a textbox appears. Type in the desired alt text for that image or approve the auto generated alt text.
• To change the reading order, select one or more items in the list. (Use Control + Click to select multiple items.)
• Drag the selected items up or down or use the up arrow or down arrow.

• The Accessibility Pane will show all the type of accessibility issues and how many.
• Note: The elements in the list are ordered from the  bottom to the top .
• To change the reading order, select one or more items in the list.

Hint: The name of each element may be confusing. Example: “Slide Number Placeholder 5”. If you are not sure what element that is, select it and a visual box will appear around that element. If an element from the original slide is visually hidden in the slide, it still appears in the Selection Pane. Select the “see” symbol (visually looks like an eye) to the right of the desired text in the selection pane – this will make that element temporarily disappear from the slide (visually) and a “hide” symbol (visually looks like a dash) will replace the “see” symbol. The screen reader will ignore elements that are hidden. Select the hide symbol and the element will visually reappear and the symbol will change back to the “see” symbol.

Create PowerPoint Presentations with ChatGPT: 4 Easy Ways

You probably know that ChatGPT is a powerful AI tool for generating text and answering questions. However, it can do much more than that. In fact, ChatGPT is changing how we approach presentation design.

Crafting professional PowerPoint presentations can be time-consuming and challenging, especially if you’re not a design expert. Luckily, ChatGPT makes it easier, helping you save time and create high-quality, engaging presentations.

In this article, we’ll explore how to use ChatGPT to create a PowerPoint Presentation. Let’s look at three simple ways ChatGPT can improve your presentation process.

Keep scrolling for step-by-step instructions, or check out the screenshots and GIFs to make the most of using ChatGPT for presentations.

Here are the topics we'll cover:

Can ChatGPT make a PowerPoint?

• How to use ChatGPT to create a PowerPoint presentation?

Tips for Using ChatGPT to Create Presentations

Why 24slides beats ai in presentation design.

Technically, no. ChatGPT doesn't create PowerPoint files directly and can't design visual elements. However, it can be a useful tool in the presentation creation process.

ChatGPT can help you create content, suggest slide outlines, and provide ideas to enhance your presentation. Here are some other ways ChatGPT can save you time and effort in creating your next PowerPoint:

• ChatGPT can generate VBA code to create slides. Although the slides may be basic, they can be a good starting point for your presentation.
• Don’t know where to start? The AIPRM extension helps you get the most out of ChatGPT with ready-made prompts for your next PPT. 
• Want to maximize any AI presentation tool ? ChatGPT can help you craft the perfect prompt. The AI tool will then turn ChatGPT's output into a PowerPoint presentation.

Later, I’ll show you how to use ChatGPT to generate a PowerPoint presentation for each of these methods.

Using ChatGPT can be a game-changer for creating PowerPoint presentations. Here’s why:

• Save Time: Making a presentation not only requires effort but also time. ChatGPT quickly provides content, speeding up the process and saving you from starting from scratch.
• Enhance Content: It helps refine your message, suggest improvements, and create engaging text. It also simplifies complex concepts for your slides.
• Generate Ideas: ChatGPT gives you fresh ideas and unique insights for your slides, helping you present your material in a more compelling way.
• Automate Tasks: ChatGPT can generate VBA code to automate repetitive tasks, like formatting and slide design. This makes it easier to handle large presentations.
• Ensure Consistency: ChatGPT ensures consistency in language, quality, and tone, giving your presentation a professional touch. It also minimizes grammar and language errors, making your slides clear and well-written.
• Seamless Integration: With tools like the AIPRM extension , you can use pre-made prompts to get a jump start on creating effective presentations.

How to use ChatGPT to create a PowerPoint presentation

Now that we know ChatGPT helps create PowerPoint presentations, let's explore the different ways we can use it. 

Feel free to explore the method you find most useful!

• Use ChatGPT for Slides Outline and Content
• Use ChatGPT to Create a PowerPoint Using VBA Codes
• Use ChatGPT AIPRM Extension to create a PowerPoint

Use ChatGPT with an AI Presentation Tool

1. use chatgpt for slides outline and content.

ChatGPT can help you brainstorm and outline your slides. You can generate detailed content for each slide by providing key points to cover in your presentation.

Step 1: Ask ChatGPT for a Table of Contents

First, you need a strong prompt. It should clearly state the topic, audience, objective, and slide count to ensure the content is relevant, well-organized, and has the right tone.

Use this ChatGPT prompt format:

“As an expert in [field/topic], create an outline for a PowerPoint presentation on [list of topics] for [target audience]. The objective is [state the objective]. Structure it to fit [number] slides. Use a [tone/style] tone.”

Here’s an example:

Step 2: Refine the ChatGPT Output

Once the outline is created, you have a good starting point to refine the content. You can expand or reformulate the information on each slide. The goal is to help ChatGPT get the result you're looking for.

Use this ChatGPT prompt to improve the content:

"Please expand the information for each slide. Include interesting facts to enhance engagement and provide more value."

Step 3: Add ChatGPT content to your PowerPoint

Once you have the content for your slides, you can transfer it directly to your PowerPoint presentation. Just copy and paste the content generated by ChatGPT, making sure you keep the structure.

Format the text by adjusting fonts and sizes to match your slide design. Here’s an example:

You now have a great starting point. From here, You’ll need to add design elements and media, plus adjust the layout and content to enhance visual appeal.

2. Use ChatGPT to create a PowerPoint using VBA codes

By using ChatGPT to provide VBA code, you can streamline the process of creating presentations. But before we start, let's answer this question:

What is VBA?

VBA, or Visual Basic for Applications, is a programming language that automates tasks in Microsoft Office apps like PowerPoint. By using ChatGPT, you can quickly generate VBA code to create and customize PowerPoint presentations, making the process faster and easier.

Step 1: Ask ChatgPT for the VBA PowerPoint code

You can use a ChatGPT prompt like "Write me VBA PowerPoint codes on [topic]..." However, the more detailed your explanation of the content, the better the result will be. Here’s an example:

Write me a VBA code for a PowerPoint presentation on [list of topics] for [target audience]. As an expert in [field/topic], structure it to fit [number] slides with a [tone/style] tone. The objective is [state the objective].

Then, ChatGPT will provide an output like this:

This is the code used to create a presentation in Powerpoint.

Step 2: Open PowerPoint and copy the VBA code

• Open PowerPoint and press ALT + F11 to open the VBA editor.
• Go to Insert > Module to create a new module.
• Copy and paste the code into the module.

Step 3: Create and refine the PowerPoint Presentation

• Press F5 to run the code and create the presentation.
• Check the content and make changes as needed.

Of course, we will need to add images and media. If needed, you can ask ChatGPT for more information and repeat this process to generate a new VBA code.

3. Use ChatGPT AIPRM Extension to create a PowerPoint

This is one of the easiest methods to simplify your PowerPoint creation process. There's no need for any ChatGPT prompts. But first, let's answer this question:

What is AIRPRM?

AIPRM is an extension designed to enhance ChatGPT's capabilities for creating and refining content, including PowerPoint presentations. 

This AI tool provides pre-made ChatGPT prompt templates to streamline your PowerPoint creation process. With AIPRM, users get automated suggestions, better formatting, and tailored content within the ChatGPT interface.

Using AIPRM Extension for PowerPoint

• Step 1: Open your browser and search for "AIPRM ChatGPT prompts." You can use this link .
• Step 2: Download and install the AIPRM extension.
• Step 3: Log in to your ChatGPT account.

Once the extension is installed, your ChatGPT interface will have new options and templates. Here’s an example:

• Step 4: Type “PowerPoint” in the search bar. This will give you a list of AIRPRM ChatGPT prompts for PowerPoint.

• Step 5: Select a prompt and click on it. It will appear in the chat bar.

• Step 6: Follow the format. Add the presentation topic and VBA instruction. In this prompt, the format is as follows: PowerPoint, Slides, VBA.

For this example, I will use Digital Marketing, 10, VBA.

• Step 7: Hit Enter. ChatGPT will generate a VBA code as in the previous method (#2).

After ChatGPT generates the VBA codes, paste the code into the Visual Basic Editor in PowerPoint. Next, run the code to generate the slides. To do this, follow the steps in the previous method (#2). 

Here’s a summary:

• Open PowerPoint.
• Press Alt + F11 to open the VBA editor.
• Insert a new module by clicking Insert > Module.
• Press F5 to run the macro and create the presentation.

Step 1. Choose Your AI Presentation Tool:

• Research and choose the best AI presentation tool for your needs. Our last article, “ 10 Best AI Tools for Creating Impactful Presentations ,” can help you.

For this example, I will use Gamma. In our review, this AI maker scored 4.5/5 for ease of use. Additionally, it offers a free plan. Use this link to sign up.

Step 2. Ask ChatGPT for a Presentation Outline

• First, you need a strong prompt. To ensure accuracy, I’ll reuse the prompt from method #1

• Once you have the outline, you can refine and expand the content for each slide. The aim is to help ChatGPT generate the best results.

Use a ChatGPT prompt like this to improve the initial output:

"Please expand the information for each slide. Include interesting facts to enhance engagement and provide more value." 

Step 4. Copy and paste the ChatGPT output into the AI tool

Since we're using Gamma for this example, here's what we'll do:

• In Gamma, choose “ Paste in text .” You already have the outline from ChatGPT.
• Copy and paste the ChatGPT prompt and click “ Continue .”
• Set the number of “ Cards ” to match your slides.
• Click “ Continue ”.

Step 5. Generate and Refine Your PowerPoint Presentation

• Select your favorite theme and click “ Generate .”
• Wait a moment while Gamma AI generates the presentation.
• Review the slides and refine the content.

You have a strong starting point. Enhance the visual appeal by adding media, adjusting the layout, and refining the content.

• Use Specific Prompts: The more detailed your prompt, the better the result will be. You should clearly mention the topic, audience, objective, and the number of slides. This will keep the content relevant.
• Understand ChatGPT’s Capabilities: ChatGPT excels at generating content but doesn't create visuals or handle design elements. Since Chat GPT doesn't have a presentation maker, you'll need to complement its outputs.
• Review the Content: Always review and edit the generated content to ensure it is accurate, coherent, and aligned with your presentation goals. ChatGPT can make mistakes, so check important info.
• Refine Your Output: Even if you're very specific, it's hard to get the perfect content for your presentation on the first try. Feel free to adjust your prompts based on initial outputs. The first outputs often highlight what is needed for the best outcome.
• Integrate ChatGPT into Your Workflow: Refining an existing idea is easier than starting from scratch. Use ChatGPT to generate fresh ideas and create outlines for your presentation. You can tailor your prompts based on your specific experience and needs. Additionally, consider using VBA code to automate repetitive tasks like summarizing information and creating bullet points.

AI tools like ChatGPT are excellent for generating content and speeding up the design process.

Let's get started:

1. Choose Your Slides

2. Add Your Content

Add your own content. Double-click on any text area and press Control-A or Command-A to select all the text. Then, paste your own content or type it in. 

3. Customize Fonts

As you’re entering the content, it’s easy to update your fonts at the same time. While the text is highlighted, select a different font from the drop-down menu on the Home tab of the ribbon. 

4. Customize Colors

To change the colors, click on the Design tab and select a different color theme. Or right-click on any colored area and select Format shape . Then, click on Fill > Solid Fill and enter your own color code. 

5. Add Your Own Images

Add the necessary project status update slides to your PowerPoint report template. Here are some tips that can help you work with a project report template:  

1. Use Gantt Charts

Gantt charts are an excellent way to illustrate a project schedule in the form of a bar chart. This type of chart is a staple for any project status report. 

2. Talk About Solutions 

Even when these details were laid out before the project was started, talk about how your project is solving problems. This helps connect your audience with the problem and solution again. 

3. Break Your Project Down

Project status reports are about breaking down the components of your project, so turn them into digestible pieces. Consider one slide that contains a road map, section breakdown, or project phases. 

4. Add an Expenses Page

The road map to achieving a particular goal is important, and so is including your expenses. This expense slide can be a simple list of all the expenses that you've accrued.

5. Add Milestones

On a project status report, include all the milestones that you've reached. Add any future milestones that you plan to reach with your project. This is essential for your audience to know what you've done and what you plan to do. 

6. Add a Summary Slide

Be it at the beginning or the end of your presentation, it's a good idea to add a summary slide. This can be where you highlight the essential topic you'll touch on or give a reminder of what you just mentioned. Either way, it can help your audience keep their attention on crucial aspects of your presentation.

7. Provide Helpful Links

A great PowerPoint presentation shares the key points of a specific subject. However, sometimes, project status reports require more information and data. To that end, it's helpful to include links to resources that can help your audience seek more information if they need it. Here's one example of how to do it:

8. Highlight Next Steps

Last but not least, highlight next steps. Knowing the basis of where the project is at is incredibly helpful. However, it's just as (or even more) important to let your audience know what actions you'll be taking to keep the project progressing. Don't forget to highlight the course of action so everyone can be on the same page.

Deliver the most up-to-date designs to your audience in your project status reports. We've collected five of the top design trends in 2024. Use them in your own PowerPoints:

1. Include Multi-Colored Charts

Make the charts more interesting. Use many complementary colors to highlight lines, bars, and tables. Blue, green, and red colors work exceptionally well here. 

2. Add Dimension

Make your design seem more interesting and appear to pop out of the slides. Layer your elements on top of each other. This gives a sense of dimension in your slides that looks visually pleasing. Add solid shapes on your slides as this is one standard design that always looks great.

3. Use Highlight Colors

This can really help give a hierarchy to your slide design. This color can be a highlight color that's used for on the various shapes on your slides. Draw attention to a particular section on the slide, and display the most important information on that slide.

4. Include Various Types of Charts

5. Use Icons
