Webber Photo Articulation Castle is an educational app for speech pathologists from Super Duper Publications. It has 3,000 PHOTO-WORDS with 24 PHONEMES for students to practice their articulation skills at the word, phrase, and sentence level, as well as certain phonology skills. All photos are from Sharon Webber's Jumbo Artic Drill Book - Volume 3. To keep your children engaged, Artic Castle has three different learning activities.

GAMES + ACTIVITIES:

• Photo Fun – This is a standard flash card activity. Players look at the pictures and say the words. Tap the scoring icons at the bottom of the card to score the production.
• Arcade Game – There are six variations of the arcade game: Balloon Pop, Duck Derby, Fishing Rodeo, Hidden Treasure, Raceway, and Space Explorer. In each arcade game, after the player taps an object (a balloon, duck, fish, gem, car, or spaceship), the player is awarded points and a picture appears. The player looks at the picture and says the word. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins.
• Matching – There are two levels of matching. Level 1 (easy) uses six pairs of cards (for a total of 12 cards) and Level 2 (difficult) uses 10 pairs of cards (20 cards total). Students try to find matching pairs of cards while practicing their target sounds.

FEATURES:

• Customize play by adding an unlimited number of players and goals.
• Quick Play option to begin playing without entering players and goals.
• Over 100 clear photos on distraction-free white backgrounds (over 2,200 photos in the full version).

Reviews

Super Duper Articulation Castle
Katpie

I think this app has had a lot of thought put into it. The data collection side seems great. I tried creating graphs and that worked just fine--easy, in fact! I really want to give it a try, but I hesitate for the following reason: I'm not sure about the arcade games. Popping the balloon is fun for kids, but there's no "purpose" to the other games. The kids just push a button and are given a word.My 4 year old was bored after a short try and I hesitate to spend the money on yet another articulation app....


from a disappointed SLP
SLP in CA

I was thrilled to see there was an app with 3000 artic pictures in it…AND it included games! What the artic app world needs is something fun, the way Splingo is for language. Unfortunately, this app is not so fun. For the kids who are really into cars, I guess they might be entertained for a while by that one screen; otherwise, I'm not tempted to get the full version anymore. The flashcards are good, but popping up and taking up the whole screen is not necessary and actually distracts from the task. I also felt there was also some strange vocabulary, like "foot rub". Ideally, we could have more customizability so the only words that show up are things we want our students to see. Lastly, it would be great if we had the ability to add our own pictures.

This app keeps the attention of preschoolers. All the games are quick..lots of talking for target sounds time vs games where more time is spent playing with little talking. Worth the money


Word positions
good.refrain

I love this app! I only wish that I could have the goal listed with the sound in all word positions in words, phrases, and sentences, and that it would break it down for me for the different positions and the percentages. As it is now I have to either do the math myself or make each word position a separate goal. Overall, excellent, I love being able to record students and let them tell me how they think they did!


A little Boring
Maretrek

I've used this app for a while now. It is convenient in that responses can be judged in various ways. However, my students have become bored with what is basically the same format over and over.


Good app... poor sound... no tech support
Ped SLP

This is a great app to target sounds in all levels; however, the app does not have the capability to transfer the sound to a Bluetooth speaker. This feature improves sound quality, consequently sound perception. I have contacted Super Duper twice about it, more than 6 months ago. This is an easy fix, but nothing has been done about it. No attention has been given to an important element in speech therapy : sound perception!


Okay, but...
SLP, MS

I really like the features of his app - being able to record audio, graphing, etc... but, most of my children do not know the many of the stimulus words Among the final /b/ words are 'cab' and 'cub', and my students call them 'lion' and 'car', respectively. I wish there were preschool friendly stimulus words.


Boring games
Theladyg5

I was excited to download this, as I like having different options for my students during sessions to keep their interest, but I cannot see the point in most of the games. I typically have 2 students in a session and they love competing, but these games are frustrating. It’s just tap on an item and a picture pops up. Why aren’t you assigned a race car so you can actually compete? It’s also disconcerting to see that there are no responses to comments. Do the inventors have no interest in what the customer thinks would improve their app?
