 Visual Aid Speech Supports

Flip Charts

• These large (27’’- 36’’) writing tablets require an easel to stand

• You can create your visual aids ahead of time and flip sheets to reveal supports

• Lightly pencil comments on sheet and trace in marker during speech –keeping writing even, legible and not angled

• Use watercolor markers that will not bleed through to the next sheet of paper

• When using dark markers, have a blank sheet of paper between marked sheets

• Use a flipchart pad with self-stick adhesive to post finished sheets on walls

• Personal speaking notes can be written, very lightly, in margins, for speaker only

• Position flip chart and stand within one or two steps of the lectern
