Acronym Detectives

Students become “detectives” as they search for acronyms hidden in a narrative about everyday technology. By circling examples and filling in the missing words to complete each acronym, learners practice decoding and contextual reasoning. The exercise shows how acronyms are embedded in modern communication-from GPS to MP3-and helps students see their practical use in daily life. It strengthens reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and technology awareness.
