8. Our Class Kamla • This device can help Kamla with her fluency. • She can practice her words and sentence building • Hearing the words and sentences while seeing them can improve Kamlas word recognition • Visual learning will help Kamla

9. Recommendation • I would recommend this device for students like Kamla who have trouble with reading and comprehension. • When students learn better visually this device can help because the pictures relate to the sound/word. • Hearing the word or sentence when placing a picture on the device can make the student make better connections and understand their meanings. • Also for students who are mute this device would be great for. It will help them become engaged and included into classroom discussions and more socially interactive.

15. Our Class Charlie • This would benefit Charlie by keeping him on task. • If he starts to become unfocused you can show him the picture of what he is supposed to be doing. • You can also have this picture book on his desk and he can earn certain things throughout the day

16. Recommendation • I would recommend this for Charlie as a focusing tool more then a communication tool
