“She is eating an apple under the tree.” What does that sentence really mean? What would it look like? Picture the Sentence is an exciting app designed to practice language and auditory processing tasks at the basic sentence level. This app offers three different levels of difficulty so the child can learn how to attend to important elements of a sentence and “picture it,” attaching meaning to the words and eventually forming mental pictures without visual support. It is also an excellent choice for anyone who is trying to learn and understand the English language. **Turn the voice commands off and the text feature on, and this game can also be a great way to practice basic reading comprehension skills too!
To watch a demonstration of this app and its features, please check our video on You Tube: http://youtu.be/gaiE7OQV-AQ on the HamaguchiApps channel.
We have incorporated a cute “Pick-a-Door” game, which can be selected at varying intervals so the user can take a break and have a little fun. The user opens each door until an animal comes out and says, "You found me!"
Options in the Settings Include:
• Choice of color drawing icons or stick figures
• Levels include: Easy (slow, with visual support staying on the screen) Intermediate (faster rate with pauses, with visual support flashing briefly on the screen) and Advanced (no pausing or visual support)
• Text on/Text off
• Choice of subjects: Pronouns (He/she/they) or nouns (boy/girl/children)
• Sandtimer (This delays the presentation of the picture choices so there is a greater challenge to the child’s working memory.) It is enabled in the "default" mode but can be easily turned off
• Sentence Types: Subject + verb, subject + verb + object, subject + verb + prepositional phrase, subject + verb + object + prepositional phrase

Thank you!
fortheheckofit
I really appreciate you making such high quality apps and not robbing us with greedy pricing like so many others seem to be doing. I am a loyal customer already!!
Loved the Following Directions Apps
Mandee's Music
I loved the others so I thought that I would try this one! Not a favorite and I will probably never use it again. In between the statement and the selection choices, there is an hourglass. It takes forever!!!!! I thought at first this was good because it allowed time for processing, but it turns out to be very distracting! It takes way too long and one of my kids actually kept saying "loading loading loading" over and over again! Disappointed! I highly recommend the Following Directions and "More Following Directions." They get 5 stars!
worst
vpaparaju
This is the worst one I ever purchased. I wish I could get the money back. This software is very slow, and there is no proper guidance to the kids to play. sound is not good.
Disappointed
SLPLaura
I was excited to get this app since a lot of my kiddos need practice listening to sentences of varying complexity and extracting meaning, which is exactly what this app claimed to do. I understand the idea behind the extra processing time, but even when turning it to off, the presentation is still extremely slow. I would like the option to have the speech read in real time. In addition, I wasn't aware before buying the app that there is no data collection option and that this company doesn't plan on offering it with any of their apps to keep the apps they have affordable. Finally, the picture choices move, and many times my kids struggle dragging the picture to the box. I will still use this app, but would not have bought it if I had known the aforementioned items in advance.

After trying the lite version, I I purchased the full version of this app. It supports the "dual coding theory" of language development which requires the student to match language with imagery. By setting a slight countdown, the developers have created a scenario where students have to retain a visual image of the receptive language presented which is critical for expressive development in my experience. My students engage with the app and I am seeing more expressive development as a result of its use.
Excellent app to get user thinking
Judd167
I love how this app shows individual pictures of words/actions to build a sentence, then asks the user to pick the picture that depicts the whole sentence. The user really needs to think about what the sentence means and choose the best picture for that sentence. It really gets the wheels turning! Love this app from both an educator's standpoint and that of a parent of a child with special needs!
Love this app!!

Hamaguchi has developed yet another awesome app. Picture the sentence is exactly what your child will do. They place an action that they have just visually seen as well as heard and place it inside a picture frame. I like how you have designed this app to help the child improve their auditory and visual skills while improving expressive and receptive language skills at the same time. I like the illustrations and how the settings can be adapted to fit the needs of your child. I love all of the Hamaguchi apps!! This is a must have app!
good for memory
karen hinkle
this is a good app i think it will help to get them to listen and then a wating period then they have to pick what the have just heard so it is also good for memory to and has alot of setting you can choose from well done
Great Memory App
Chiquita2271
This is a great app. I love how it shows individual pictures of items as it reads the sentence and then wants you to use your memory as well as creativity to put the pictures together into one picture which shows all of what the sentence is stating. You really have to listen well because some of the pictures are generic but, the end collaborative picture is detailed and you need to know those details. Great job!
Wonderful cognitive and auditory learning game!
Katie Zink
This App provides a wonderful opportunity for children to strengthen their auditory processing skills as well as cognition. The game encourages the user to "picture" the phrase, to think about what it really means, and what it would look like in picture form. For example, the phrase shown is "The boy is eating," the game then provides an option for a sand timer for thinking-time, and finally the user picks the picture that best matches the phrase previously shown. There is even a fun 'pick the door' activity that pops up after so many phrases are completed. Children's progress can be recorded and even sent through email. The App also has multiple user options.
