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. Learn more about comprehension here. http://reading.uoregon.edu/comp

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.

How to Use Gemini (Formerly Duet AI) to Create Images for Slides & Backgrounds

Your email has been sent

If you have a paid subscription to Gemini (formerly Duet AI), you may generate images in Google Slides and Google Meet in a web browser. The feature is available to Google Workspace customers with the Gemini add-on (for $14 per user per month, paid annually for Gemini Business, or $30 per user per month, paid annually for Gemini Enterprise) and individual Gemini subscribers ($20 per month on personal accounts). Gemini in Google Slides or Meet offers an alternative to laboriously drawing custom images yourself or selecting from sterile stock photos; instead, you can type text to describe your desired image.

As always, make sure that your use of generated AI images complies with your organization’s guidelines for use and attribution.

When using Gemini, Figure A shows how to create an image in Google Slides (i.e., Create image with Gemini), and Figure B shows how to access the background image creation option in Google Meet (i.e., Generate a background). Activate the feature, enter text that describes an image, optionally select a style from the drop-down menu and then wait a few seconds for the system to generate images.

Drop-down style menu options differ between Google Slides and Google Meet. The Google Slides style drop-down defaults to No Style, but you also might select Photography, Background, Vector Art, Sketch, Watercolor, Cyberpunk and I’m Feeling Lucky options. While the I’m Feeling Lucky option is a nod to an early Google search feature that automatically took you to a first result, in this case it lets the system select a style. Similarly, the Google Meet background generator style defaults to No Style with the available options of Photography, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, 3D Animation, Illustration and Film Noir.

How to review the Gemini generated images

You may review the generated images. When you select a generated image either by clicking or tapping it, the system adds it either as a background in Google Meet or an image in Google Slides.

If you’re not happy with any of the generated images, select View More to try again. You might also edit the text prompt to describe your desired image differently. Google’s Gemini support page suggests that you might obtain better results when your text describes the subject, setting, distance, materials and background.

What types of images can Gemini create?

The variety of images that Gemini can create in Google Slides and Google Meet is vast. To give you a sense of the range and quality available, I generated five distinct types of images in different styles: an object, a scene, people, an idea and a sign. The images on the left below were the first four images the system generated, which I inserted on a Google Slide and then captured as a screenshot. The image to the right is a similar prompt used in Google Meet. Since the style options differ, the choice is noted in each case below.

Generate an object

With no style selected, the prompt “Laptop on a desk in an office” produced images that suggest a straightforward photograph of a common office scene in Google Slides and Google Meet ( Figure C ).

Generate a scene

A prompt of “Beautiful nature scene of bird flying over the Rio Grande” resulted in an image in both Google Slides and Google Meet ( Figure D ) that depicted a river with varying quantities of birds in flight. The watercolor style in Google Slides and the illustration style in Google Meet evoked the quality of hand-created works. Interestingly, the images generated in Slides included images within an image — framed illustrations of the requested subject set within the scene.

Generate an image of an abstract idea

The prompt “Abstract illustration of a neural network” explored how the system might show a concept. The results differed, with Google Slides set to vector art style showing neural network illustrations, while Google Meet  set to sci-fi style produced human faces enmeshed in network connections  ( Figure E ). 

Generate an image with people

In my testing, the system sometimes declined to generate images with people. The prompt “Two people shaking hands, photorealistic” set to photography style in both Google Slides and Meet produced results ( Figure F ). These results are much improved over the initial hands produced in earlier iterations of Duet AI.

Generate a sign with text

Next, I tried a request to generate a “Sign that says ‘encourage experimentation,’” with the style option set to sketch in Slides and fantasy in Meet, respectively ( Figure G ). Whereas Duet AI had provided images in response to this prompt, the update to Gemini results in a refusal. The system won’t generate signs with text, so you’ll need to create those separately at the moment.

Generate an image from literature

When prompted with the wonderfully descriptive first paragraph of James Joyce’s short story Two Gallants from his book “Dubliners,” Google Slides and Google Meet generated the following images ( Figure H , left and right, respectively). Repeated attempts often similarly produced just one or two images in response, unlike nearly all of the above prompts that resulted in three or four sample images. The complexity of the text prompt likely affected the number of images the system could generate within a system-defined response time

Mention or message me on X ( @awolber ) to let me know how you use Gemini (formerly Duet AI) to generate images in Google Slides or backgrounds in Google Meet. What prompts and style settings produce images you prefer?

How to make your branding presentation a success

Get your team on prezi – watch this on demand video.

Anete Ezera March 30, 2024

For all brands, whether established or new, pitching your identity and intentions as a brand should be an important part of presentations. But, it’s not always easy to showcase your brand in the way you envision. This is why knowing how to create the perfect branding deck is important. With Prezi, merging your ideas into a branding presentation has never been easier. Read on to learn more about what a branding deck is and get the knowledge you need to showcase your brand in the right way. 

What is a branding presentation? 

People use branding presentations for several reasons. They can be used to introduce a brand and explain their values and business strategy. They’re also used to brief marketing teams or partners or align internal teams with the brand’s direction. They can be useful for all brands, from newly established to global companies. 

A branding presentation will usually consist of: 

• Brand overview;
• Detailed information about the brand’s target market;
• How the brand positions itself in the market;
• Showcase of the brand’s visual elements (logo, color palette, imagery);
• Explanation of the brand’s communication style (voice, tone);
• Examples of how the brand identity is applied across various mediums;
• Brand guidelines and standards.

Examples of branding presentations

We’ve put together some examples of branding presentations that were created using Prezi. 

Personal branding presentation 

The following example is a personal branding presentation, which uses the same principles as a normal branding presentation. Only, the brand you’re selling is yourself. This presentation is created by the help of Prezi AI , and you can reuse this presentation example and fill in the placeholders with your own information. You can showcase your strengths, values, and goals, and add a personal touch to make it authentically yours. Or, you can also use Prezi AI to create a presentation like this in minutes or even seconds.

Fashion branding presentation 

The following branding presentation could be used for a fashion brand. The presentation design, created using Prezi AI , matches the aesthetic appeal a fashion brand might want to use. This is a good example of storytelling as the presentation moves through each point telling the audience about the brand and what their intentions are. The fashion brand presentation also explores its identity and heritage, which is a great way to connect with the audience on a personal level. You can simply reuse this presentation, add your content and personal touch, and present it right away.

Grammarly brand presentation 

This presentation on Grammarly is a great example of staying consistent and true to your brand. When you look at the overall theme of the presentation, such as the colors and fonts used, you can see that the brand identity is solid all the way through. This is a great way of sharing what you envision your brand to look like with the audience. 

8 Tips to help you create the best branding presentation

Now we know what a branding presentation should consist of, let’s look at some tips to help you in the creation process. 

Start with a strong story 

In order to captivate your audience from the beginning, you need to come up with a story that captures your brand’s mission, vision, and values. A storytelling approach helps to engage your audience emotionally and intellectually, making your brand’s purpose and direction clear from the outset. 

Know your audience 

Think about who you’re presenting to, as this will help you highlight the more relevant aspects of your brand. Whether you’re presenting to clients, stakeholders, or internal teams, tailor your branding presentation to the specific interests and expectations of your audience. 

Highlight the unique value proposition 

In order for people to take your brand seriously, you should talk about what sets you apart from your competitors. Think about the unique benefits your brand offers compared to similar brands, and highlight these points. You should make your unique value proposition the main focus of your presentation to showcase why your brand matters. 

Use interesting visuals 

Another great way to grab your audience’s attention is to make your branding presentation look visually interesting. You should include your brand logo and color scheme throughout to reinforce who you are. When it comes to including imagery, it’s important to choose images that correlate with your message, and they should be relevant to the information on your presentation slides. When used in the right way, visuals can be really good at strengthening the points you’re making. 

Examples of your brand in action 

The best way to get people on board with your brand is to make them believe in it. The best way to do this is to show them your brand in action. This could be from brand packaging and advertising examples to displaying your digital presence. By showing how your branding is applied in real-world circumstances, you’re bringing your brand to life, rather than just talking about it. 

Be concise and focused

Your audience is going to soak in information better if you keep your presentation clear and to the point. Think about the key points you want to make, and stick to them. You could use each slide of your branding presentation to make one key point, this way you’re not overloading each slide with too much information, which can be confusing. When thinking about how you want your presentation to look, avoid cramming your slides with too much text and too many visual elements. Your message will come across much clearer if you keep it simple. 

Interactive elements 

This is an aspect that can really boost your presentation and make it less boring. For branding presentations, you might want to include interactive elements like a live demonstration or an interactive session where the audience can experience your products or platform firsthand. Another idea might be to encourage your audience to participate in discussions, like sharing their experiences or expectations of your product or service. For virtual branding presentations, use Live Prezi to take interactivity to the next level. With Live Prezi, you can create an interactive presentation experience in real-time. Simply set up your link and share it with anyone, anywhere. Up to 100 participants can join your Live Prezi session and follow along as you guide them through your compelling content.

End with a clear call to action 

It’s important that you make it clear to your audience what action you need them to take following your presentation. This might be seeking approval or feedback, or a specific, unique action you require from your branding presentation. Either way, you should be clear about the next steps you want the audience to take following your presentation. 

Pitfalls to avoid 

We’ve already discussed things that you should consider when creating your branding deck, now let’s look at some mistakes you should avoid. 

Too much information 

A common mistake when making branding presentations is putting too much information onto the slides. Overloading slides in this way is going to be distracting for your audience. Try using bullet points to make each point clear and use visuals that complement your spoken words. With Prezi’s AI text editing tool , you can easily modify your text to match your desired outcome in seconds. Make text longer, shorter, or create a concise and engaging list.

Inconsistency 

When you use a mixture of styles, fonts and colors throughout your branding presentation, it screams amateur. You should make sure the whole thing looks in alignment with your brand and stays consistent for the whole presentation. Staying constant with the visual aspect helps to paint a picture of what your brand looks like. To feel more confident in your design choices, use Prezi’s AI presentation maker – it’ll suggest matching color schemes, layouts, and more, to match your topic and style.

Underestimating your audience’s knowledge 

Assuming your audience knows too little or too much can cause confusion. Make your presentation just right for what they know about your brand and the field it’s in. Give them new things to learn without making it too simple.

Skipping your brand’s story

People tend to resonate with stories and purposes. Failing to talk about who you are as a brand and what you stand for can cause your audience to disconnect. You should make it a personal branding presentation that mentions your values and intentions. 

Failure to mention competitors

It’s important to let your audience know where your brand sits in the market. When you fail to discuss your competitors, your audience may deem this ignorant or naive. The purpose of mentioning your competitors is to show how your brand can outshine them and what values you have to offer that they don’t. Without this, your audience will be left with questions about your brand’s uniqueness and whether you’ll fit in the market. 

Forgetting to proofread 

If your presentation contains typos, spelling mistakes, or inaccuracies, you may come across as unprofessional and questions about your brand’s credibility may arise. Remember, branding presentations are all about giving off a good first impression, so make sure you’ve checked each slide properly before your big moment arrives. 

Don’t rely too heavily on text

When the screen is crammed with text, it can make your branding presentation look dull and make it harder for your audience to follow. By using visuals to explain your points instead of lots of text, the audience can process your message much faster. After all, you’re going to be the voice of the brand, so stick to a few bullet points and elaborate with speech. 

Not preparing for questions 

Your audience is bound to have questions about your brand and goals, and how you plan on reaching these goals. Since there’s no way of knowing what questions will be thrown at you, it’s a good idea to prepare beforehand. 

Prezi’s role in your branding presentation 

Prezi is a presentation tool that’s different from any other. It lets you share ideas in a way that’s interesting, by moving around a single space, letting you zoom in and out of sections to show off your points. There’s no longer a need for boring, traditional slide-based presentations because Prezi allows us to share our thoughts in a more dynamic way that lets us bring our audience on a journey with us. 

Prezi is particularly useful for creating branding presentations because you can share your brand’s story and identity in a new and exciting way that sticks with your audience. Let’s look at some of Prezi’s features that would be great for creating your branding presentation. 

Brand kits 

We know how important it is that things stay consistent when it comes to branding presentations. This is why Prezi has created the Brand Kit feature, where you can include your brand’s color palette, logo, fonts, and style so that every time you need it, you have a pre-set branding presentation template. This way, you can save time whenever you need to create a presentation based on your brand, and you know it’s going to align with your brand’s identity every time. 

Integration features 

When it comes to presenting your branding deck virtually, Prezi has all the tools you need to succeed. You can connect and engage with hybrid teams in real-time using Prezi Video , making your meetings more exciting and engaging. You can show your branding content at the same time as showing your face, so you can still present just like you would in a conference room. 

Open canvas 

Prezi’s open canvas feature allows you to move freely from one point to the next. It takes away the restrictions that come with slide by slide-based presentations. This is ideal for when you’re telling your brand’s story, as you can zoom in on certain key points and then back out to the bigger picture. It’s also easier to go back and forth between points which might be useful when faced with questions about your brand. 

Professionally designed templates 

For those who don’t want to start with a blank page, having a fully prepared template can be a huge help. With Prezi, you can choose from a great range of templates . No matter what industry you’re starting out in, you can find a template that can serve as the building ground for your branding presentation. Prezi templates are customizable, so you can integrate parts of your brand as you go along the creation process. 

Images and icons 

Prezi has countless icons and images you can choose from to help you create the perfect visuals. Branding presentations are all about telling a story, and with Prezi, your options are endless when it comes to selecting the perfect visuals to complement your narrative. Having a great range of images and icons to choose from all in the same place makes the creation process much simpler, saving you time for more important aspects of your brand. 

AI text editing tool 

When it comes to forming the right words, we can help. Our AI feature can edit your work or offer suggestions, such as correcting spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Prezi’s AI text editing tool can also shorten or lengthen text, as well as restructure it, such as changing paragraphs to readable bullet points. This is a really important feature when it comes to making a branding presentation, as easily readable slides are a crucial part of it. 

Collaborate easily 

Working together to create the best branding presentation is easy with Prezi. You and your team can work remotely on the presentation and communicate ideas and feedback using the comment feature. You can comment on each frame, so you and your team can be sure that every part of the presentation is up to scratch, working together from anywhere in the world. 

Why every branding presentation needs AI 

At Prezi, we’re always striving to provide the best presentation creation experience – that’s why we’re elevating it with advanced AI features. There are so many benefits of using AI to assist in the creation process of your branding presentation. Let’s look at a few of these advantages: 

Save time with automatic design and content: AI quickly creates designs and content, cutting down the time you spend on making presentations. For those using Prezi, this means extra time to improve your story. 

Brings new ideas: AI can come up with new designs and content ideas that you might not have thought of yourself. 

Keep things consistent: Many AI tools can help you stick to the same theme throughout your branding presentation, such as, colors and fonts. 

Easy updates and changes: With AI, making changes and improvements to your presentations is a lot easier. Take the Prezi AI text editing tool for example, which makes suggestions to make your content even better. 

A new beginning for branding presentations 

Whether you’re launching a new brand or whether you’re an established brand taking on a new venture, branding presentations can be the make or break for you. This is why it’s so important to make a good, strong impression on your audience. By following the tips we’ve mentioned in this article, you can maximize your chances of making a showstopping branding presentation that leaves your audience invested. 

By using Prezi to make your presentation, you’re not only equipped with features like pre-designed templates , but you also have the advantage of AI-powered design tools . It’s clear that features like the AI presentation creator and AI text editing tool have changed the way we create presentations. Gone are the days of worrying about what to say and when, because with Prezi, you know that each slide is going to have the perfect balance between text and visuals, captivating your audience.  

And, not only is the creation process a lot easier with Prezi, but it’s quicker too. This is a great perk for brand owners, as we know there’s much more to launching a brand than making presentations. The assistance of Prezi means you now have more time to spend on important tasks. So, for your next branding presentation, partner with Prezi and reap the benefits of amazing design features and AI-powered presentation tools.
