These instruments were validated by three experts. A random sample of 42 pupilsfrom a primary school in Perak was selected. They were divided into a control group (n=21) and anexperimental group (n=21). Twelve pupils were selected purposefully for the interview. Therewas no significant difference of the mean scores between pre-tests of the control andexperimental groups. A four-week treatment was given to experimental group using Smart InteractiveWhiteboard while the control group used flash card technique. The result from the t-testindependent samples indicated a significant difference between the post-tests of thecontrol and experimental groups [t(40) = 0.191; p
