It is the first vocabulary learning app using IBM's artificial intelligence (AI) software . The app finds a child's current reading and vocabulary levels, and then uses its AI to give the child new vocabulary to improve the child's skills . The app personalizes learning for children . As the child uses the app more, it makes sure he or she has learned and understood the new words before introducing additional vocabulary items .  \nIBM has completed a pilot program testing the app. It collected 18,000 multiple-choice tests given to kindergarteners . The researchers said the results were promising. They said the kids learned words like \"amplify,\" \"camouflage,\" and \"applause,\"which are usually learned at a later age . The children could also use these words in context. Sesame Workshop said the next generation of learning tools and educational technology are a great new way, \"for learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom, and we're excited to explore it further\" .  \nSources: [https://](https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/07/sesame-workshop-and-ibm-team-up-to-test-a-new-a-i)[techcrunch.com](https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/07/sesame-workshop-and-ibm-team-up-to-test-a-new-a-i)[/2017/06/07/sesame-workshop-and-ibm-team-up-to-test-a-new-a-i](https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/07/sesame-workshop-and-ibm-team-up-to-test-a-new-a-i)powered-teaching-method/ [http://](http://kidscreen.com/2017/06/07/sesame-and-ibm-watson-test-vocab-app-in-us-schools/)[kidscreen.com](http://kidscreen.com/2017/06/07/sesame-and-ibm-watson-test-vocab-app-in-us-schools/)[/2017/06/07/sesame-and-ibm-watson-test-vocab-app-in-us-schools/](http://kidscreen.com/2017/06/07/sesame-and-ibm-watson-test-vocab-app-in-us-schools/)  \n[https://](https://techdigg.com/2017/06/07/ibm-and-sesame-street-join-forces-to-tackle-education/)[techdigg.com](https://techdigg.com/2017/06/07/ibm-and-sesame-street-join-forces-to-tackle-education/)[/2017/06/07/ibm-and-sesame-street-join-forces-to-tackle-education/](https://techdigg.com/2017/06/07/ibm-and-sesame-street-join-forces-to-tackle-education/)  \nLevel ·5 Sesame Street and IBM make vocabulary app – 11th June, 2017  \nMore free lessons [at](at www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com-Copyright)[ ](at www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com-Copyright)[www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com](at www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com-Copyright)[-Copyright](at www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com-Copyright) Sean Banville 2017 2  \nPHRASE MATCHING  \nFrom [http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/1706/170611-vocabulary-app-5.html](http://www.breakingne","cbCailPnY9AU6oCR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailPnY9AU6oCR","pdf",172031,"English","# The Reading\n## Phrase Matching\n## Listen and Fill in the Gaps\n## Writing and Speaking","[{\"question\":\"What does the vocabulary app do for a child’s learning?\",\"answer\":\"It identifies a child’s current reading and vocabulary levels, then uses AI to introduce new vocabulary to improve skills.
