Young Readers/ESL

A nice app- very easy to use and entertaining. A great tool for young readers. My wife teaches English as a Second Language (ESL) and is excited to try it with her adult students.

Fantastic program for ASD/young readers

We purchased this program for our ASD daughter and she loves playing. It has a very simple but fun interface that keeps her engaged. The combination of visual and audio ques is really helping her put together grammatically correct sentences. Our son, who is not ASD, enjoys playing too.

This is an engaging app with entertaining graphics and reinforcers. It is intuitive and easy to use, while systematically teaching and reinforcing grammatically correct sentence form.

I love so much about this app! The dial format is engaging. I love the quick animations for correct answers. The animations are cute, funny, and quick! There is a man's voice that reads the sentence aloud after the correct answer and tells you to try again if you get it wrong. He speaks slow and clear and sounds real (not a computerized voice). The graphics are simple but interesting. This can be used to address a variety of syntax errors in speech therapy. This would also be a nice way for kids to practice their syntax (grammar) at home. As a speech therapist, I can also target vocabulary by expanding on these sentences and pictures. Basic concepts can be targeted (example sentence: He is skiing....around the, up the, in the, before the, down the.....hill). This app could be especially helpful for ESL students and SLI students.

Great App

If you have a higher functioning autistic child that is leaving off the small words of sentences or using the wrong words like one of mine is, this is a great app for him/her to get accustomed to putting those small words in with and the appropriate words. Liked it enough that I bought an iPad and the iPad version. As a foster parent with 7 autistic children in the home, I love the work put into programs like this. Keep up the good work! Also love the positive feedback given in the program!

AWESOME APP!

This is a wonderful app and I use it to help my daughter to learn how to use words such as "the", "a", etc...great for use with children who have autism and typical children who need a little help!

I have just started using Sentence builder during my speech therapy sessions with Kindergarten students. This is a nice application for working on grammar. It is engaging for the students to use during therapy. My students are not able to read but I am still able to use the application to target grammatical skills. I have the students describe the picture and I build the sentence to match their response. If the student has difficulty I am able to give them the different options as clues. The visual reinforcement is very exciting for my young students.

Poor app

Nice tool

I teach English in Japan and this is one of the great tools that I use for both adult and kid's classes. It's a fun way to practice simple grammar skills and the kid's just love getting handed "Sensei's iPhone" to "play" with. By having possible answers on the wheel, it allows the students to work through not only the correct sentences, but also to see some of the common mistakes that they make and realize why they are mistakes.

Good app, annoying new voice

Language Lady

I liked the old voice better. This one is too nasal and has a strange inflection. As an SLP who uses this often, I notice!
