Great app but needs work! – Word Vault Essential Review
This app is great for many things including articulation, language, phonology and pragmatics. I gave it 3 stars because I feel like for children some things in the app are too hard.
I do like the articulation part and that it has one word syllables, unlike Articulation Station sometimes has 2-word syllables. Maybe a feature can be used to have 1, 2 or even 3 syllable words for articulation, especially for more severe students.
When I do antonyms with my special needs students, I get frustrated that the pictures are not accurately representing the word (i.e. for open/close - they have someone closing a suitcase and for open, they have a hippo opening his mouth). I think that for an accurate and more clear understanding of the concepts being shown you should stick to one thing (opening/closing the suitcase) not two different pics that have no relation whatsoever.
I also use the minimal pairs and idioms.
Keep up the good work! It has a lot of potential.
