Shake-a-Phrase: Fun With Words and Sentences Reviews

Great concept...not so creepy anymore! Thank you!

I really appreciate the update to this app! Awesome job! I feel confident I will be able to use this with even my elementary age students as well as middle school aged students in language therapy now...and it won't be scary. I love that I can select a theme now; such as sports, animals and fairy tale. You even toned down the monsters a bit.I really like that students can read the sentences and identify different parts of the sentences. Shaking to get a new sentence is fun too, so glad you toned down the creepy vocabulary; such as, "zombie", "witches and spells" and provided options for less Halloweenish vocabulary!

Good writing prompt

I teach a Digital Storytelling class to middle schoolers, and they often need help brainstorming to get stories going. This app is a fun way for them to get physical and get some ideas. The different categories are great for them, since they all have different interests and can pick what categories they want to write about. I'll definitely be trying this out with my students!

Elementary?

I work with 2nd grade students and would love to use something like this as a tool to encourage storytelling as well as language development. However, the complexity/difficulty of many of the words discourages this. I wish there were a setting to indicate grade and/or reading level of the player. Otherwise I love the creativity this inspires.

Great fun for the kids!

My kids hate to read, but on a road trip they spent 3 hours reading to each other and laughing instead of fighting! Great start! I look forward to more apps! PM

this will get you talking

Shake-a-Phrase is a fun app to get you talking! I use this app during speech/language sessions for the older kiddos that are working at the conversational level. It is a great turn taking activity too. The app has a "theme" section that is wonderful for choosing story starters or quizzes with particular themes (animals, fairytale, monsters, sports). It has a comprehensive setting area where you can select nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and conjunctions as well as choose the mode of play (shake it - sentences, story starter or quiz). This is a wonderful app for vocabulary development too. I highly recommend it. ACTbyJackieBryla

Fun way to learn words and grammar!

This is a great app for developing vocabulary and understanding how words function in a sentence. The wacky sentences bring tons of giggles! The Quiz Me part is very well done. Highly recommend!

Writing and Grammar Made Fun!!!

This app is great, creative, fun learning for elementary aged children and up! With three ways to play (Shake It, Story Starter, and Quiz Me), you can see randomly generated silly sentences and tap the words for definitions, or, in Quiz Me, you tap the requested parts of speech (nouns, verbs, prepositions and adjectives). Story Starter gives the user randomized creative ideas for starting a story! This is a amazing app for creativity, working on parts of speech in an amusing way, learning new words and their meaning in context, and more! The abilty to select themes throughout the app makes it even more engaging! I recommend this app!
