Poor pictures, awkward handling
Luv4movies
I thought this would be better, to be honest. I am a speech language pathologist who works with many language impaired children working on wh questions. The voice is monotone. The images are a bit crude. The dial to select the answer is hard to handle. Overall, I would pass on this app until it can be improved.

I LOVE this app! I use it a lot with 1st and 2nd grader SLI students. The students are very engaged in this app. I target wh-questions by making them say their answer before they can look at the choices. My students LOVE the animated reinforcement! This app can target wh-questions, vocabulary, and syntax with SLP guidance. I highly recommend this app!
playful app improves reading comprehension

What I like best about this app is that the questions are designed such that the child really has to think about the BEST answer since the other answers could also be correct. If a wrong answer is selected, the narrator says encouraging words like "you'll get it next time." In some scenes goofy animated characters appear to positively reinforce getting an answer right, by saying things like "awesome." Nice work.
Great app

This is a great app to start introduce W questions to autistic student. I wish the applause can be less distracting by just clapping, sound and visually echo the answer so it will imprint in the autistic student to help them build answer or intraverbal skills. Also if we can have the options to hide other icons such as info, setting so the kid won't interfere with the learning session. To perfect this, you can program so user can just answer by touching on answer repeatedly instead of rolling then tap a separate box of select...great work anyway.. Thanks T Nguyen MD
Great!!!

My son has been in speech therapy since he was 2, this program is addressing an area which I never thought a 'game' would. He is really successful with this app and that builds his confidence. Highly recommend!
Like but whwerw are the "Who" & "When" Questions?

I like this app especially since I'm an SLP but why is it there are 2 main types of questions missing. "When and Who" are two types of questions that are very important for children to know. I love the interactivness of this program but it won't get 5 stars till all types of questions are included.
Great app

I'm a speech therapist and use this app with my students with autism. They love it. I find that it's a great reward in therapy. They love the reinforcing voice when they get it right and they have no problem spinning the answer wheel. It's a great educational tool to support language fundamentals. I look forward to what's coming next.
Question Builder... Good app
Debra, Speech Pathologist
I am a speech pathologist working with preschoolers. The app is suited to the elementary school kids due to the reading involved. It worked well with the preschoolers once I adapted it to my needs. I had to be a bit more lenient in accepting answers, which made the scoring tool less helpful. Unfortunately, they did not it if I read the answer choices to them... too much overload. The pictures are great with just the right amount of distracting elements to work with those kids who do not focus on the question being asked, but rather on other parts of the picture. It allowed me to focus them and work toward decreasing tangential answers. I would have given 5 stars, but I did not love the verbal and picture reinforcements.

This App is AMAZING!! It makes owning the iPad worthwhile for me. My six year old son with autism, who was horrible trouble processing "wh" questions LOVES THIS!! He of course finds "how" and "why" the hardest. First time on he practiced "why" questions for 40 minutes! He also was very successful with it which makes him really enjoy it. He is going to be conversing in no time and finally asking ME the questions<3
If the possible answers to the question were spoken, it could work for kids with visual impairments

Please do something about this to make your ap a 5 star tool. I am hesitant to buy your other aps as I cannot tell if they will be appropriate for my son who needs to have text read to him Thanks
