Articulation Scenes brings articulation practice to a whole new level! This app, developed and designed by a certified speech language pathologist allows children to practice their sounds with a variety of engaging and fun activities centered around the cinema theme. Based on scenes, Articulation Scenes provides numerous opportunities for children to pronounce their sounds more clearly. All activities were beautifully designed around the theme of cinema and movies for a fun and interesting learning activity.

Articulation Scenes comes with 72 stunning built-in scenes and over 1200 practice words. Each scene contains 4 separate activities:

1.Find the hidden items: Allows children the opportunities to listen to targeted words and find them on each scene.
2.Tap and say it: Children tap on the items on the scene, which are isolated allowing the therapist to track and monitor their productions.
3.The movie theater: Children get the opportunity to listen to a story using the target words.
4.The production room: This is the activity that allows children to either create their own stories, record them and continue to practice.

Articulation Scenes includes all consonants in the English language:

[ p, m , h, w, n, b, d, y, t, k , g, ng, f, ch, j , l , r, v, s, z, sh, th]

We have included one scene per sound per position.

Additionally, for children who need practice with one of the most targeted phonemes in speech therapy sessions / r/ , we have included one scene per each separate type of the sound “r” : [ pre-vocalic, blends, air, ar, ear, ire, or, rl ].

Articulation Scenes offers children the opportunity to learn to pronounce their sounds from pre-recorded audio built-in on each activity as well as the ability to record their own voice pronouncing the words.

Data tracking capabilities and exciting reward activities are also some of the great features on Articulation Scenes. We have completed the application by adding homework sheets containing the words included on each scene that can be sent home for further practice.

A lot of fun!

What a fun articulation app! The kids enjoy looking for the hidden objects in each of the articulation scenes. I also love the homework portion. It’s so easy to email right home to parents.


Great except

I noticed they are missing a scene for “er”. I would love to see that added.


One of the best apps I ever bought
Luzi up34

This is by far one of the most engaging, functional, and powerful apps I ever bought for helping my students. The 5 different activities target not only articulation skills, but also story telling, narration, language, pragmatics, and reading skills. I can envision using this app with both articulation and language groups.


FABULOUS!
AAC Girl

It makes me feel like I'm in Hollywood with my students! Most creative, useful, and comprehensive! Keep them coming, Smarty Ears!


Great app!
IA SLP

This app is a very valuable one in an SLP's arsenal; like another reviewer stated, it's great for more than just articulation. I wish there were more s-blends available (sp, sk, st are included), but overall well worth the money. Can't wait to see what you come up with next, Smarty Ears!


Wow!
Janslp

Great app! Very motivating to my patients! One who is particularly hard to please really upped her compliance level with therapy!


Disappointing
Chickenwris

I am disappointed that the scenes are not animated like a real movie theatre. I think it would b a nice reward after the child is finished reading or formulating their own story for the scene to "come alive with animation.". Speaking of rewards...one of my students read that she had earned an award yet her trophy case remained empty. Please fix the bugs and animate! Thanks!


The app works great and it has NO BUGS
Geek SLP

This is a comment for the previous reviewer that says that this is a bug on the app. She just does not know that she must scroll down to see the trophy that her student won. Watching the video tutorial is helpful to learn about all the features and how to use them ;-)


Looks great!
BethSLP

Just bought this app and can't wait to try it with students. I tested it out with my 7 year old and she loved it!


Great Buy!
Smarty Ears

I bought this app last week and my arctic students love it! Worth the money. Love that it has most of the phonemes my students are working on. Love the interactive features.
