Every class has those students that are too shy to talk in class and give their thoughts on the lessons being taught. Often these students can be scared to ask for help if they don't understand something in class. Journal writing gives them a place to discretely express any concerns they might have without having to tell the whole class. Also, a teacher can really tell how well a student is understanding different concepts by reading the journal entries.

Journal writing allows younger students to work on building their confidence in writing. Simple daily entries can help to reduce writing anxiety as they get older and have to write bigger works.
