Described in the following topics

Challenge

The level of understanding and knowledge varies among different individuals based on their  age,sex and education.The common challenge in the teaching Concepts in History, Languages  like English is inability to create the visual effect by telling stories to the students of age groups 5  to 12 years in JKKN institutions. They are considered as School students and their learning  ability cannot be  compared to the adults.The theoretical explanation in terms of stories with  more clarity and visualization is great challenge to the teachers and learning population

The students of age groups 7 to 12 years were participated in primary level.  The recorded response is for first method(audio only) -40% of marks, Second method -60%,third  method was considered better than other two methods which produce 75% marks indicating its  better performance and subject learning improvement.
