In 2011, I was a poster presenter at the Getting in Touch with Literacy conference held in Louisville, Kentucky. I presented on creating tactile memory for understanding. My information came from a lesson I had used in class for reading comprehension of a story about bird-watching. When the students only read the passage then answered questions, they scored at or below 62%. When I added the sounds of birds into the lesson and they reread and answered questions, they scored 75%.
