Needs to Make Sense
teach304431
Although the concept of the app is not bad, we just went through two levels and the sentences themselves are poor. Students are asked to look at two sentences and decide if what’s been added in the second sentence tells what, where, etc. Unfortunately, it seems as if the sentences were just put together with random endings that don’t always make sense. For example, “The boy carried the plate.” and “The boy carried the plate in the car.” were two of the sentences. Although “in the car” told where…why would a boy carry a plate in the car? To the car, maybe, but “in” the car? Another was “Mike dropped some coins” and “Mike dropped some coins with Gina”…really? Students who are struggling readers are trying to make sense of what they are reading. If the sentences themselves don’t make a lot of sense, knowing if what was added was a what, where, why, or who doesn’t really help them comprehend. I shared with a reading specialist in my building and she was appalled! Sorry, but the sentences need work.

I use this app when tutoring kid's who struggle to read and comprehend and its what I recommend parents get. I use it for my own children too!

I like this app and my students love playing it! One great benefit of this app is that it keeps track of each students progress for each time they work at it. There is one aspect of this app that I don't like and that is that sometimes the sentences do not make much sense which can confuse my students. When that happens I challenge them to rewrite the sentence so that it does make sense but still answers the targeted question. Needs some tweeks but it is worth the money spent!
Awesome Apps!

This app is terrific! It tracks my students' progress, the kids think it's great fun and the levels increase in difficulty as they go along, further increasing their skills. The whole series of apps are wonderful! Toni

Great app. My grandson is a reluctant reader and your programs help with teaching in small chunks.

My first grader was really struggling with the different question words like when, what, how, why and where. This app helped him practice each type in a very systematic approach and there are up to 44 levels. Once he completes the first level , he can go to the next level. His understanding of the question words has improved in just a week. Definitely a must-have app for kids with Grammar issues.
