Our goal at our school is to improve vocabulary experiences in order to improve test scores and reading comprehension. My students struggle in areas of speech and language and therefore require lots of vocabulary instruction. This device will help in the excitement of learning new vocabulary words through fascinating lessons! This new technology will help bring higher-level vocabulary words to life. We will be able to learn new words and use them. The ability to project various videos and examples from the internet onto the board will bring these words to life. Once these words have been presented through multi-sensory learning, there is a higher probability that these words will be stored in the student's long-term memory. When words are stored in long-term memory, they are more easily accessed during reading and verbal communication.
