UDL Guideline 2.4: Embed visual, non-linguistic supports for vocabulary clarifications (pictures, videos, etc.). Students can select a verb phrase on this app and it will show them an illustration demonstrating the meaning of the phrase and a written explanation to further clarify meaning. This app has been used in English as a Second Language classrooms and for older struggling readers.
General Critique
The concept behind this app is engaging and it appears to fulfill the function of illustrating confusing verb phrases (generally those with multiple meanings). I would be interested to see if the use of this app would make a change in actual performance. For example, do students who use this app score higher on vocabulary assessments?
