Leave a Review SentenceBuilder™ for iPad
Great way to work on sentence building in speech therapy!
I use this app in my speech therapy practice. It is most appropriate for kids- but adults with aphasia also find it helpful. The colorful pictures are very engaging. Many individuals need work on written sentence formulation, but can't write or legibility is a big problem. This app is a wonderful way to get around those issues and focus on grammar and the connector words. I often expand on the app and encourage the kids or adults I am helping to say the final selection aloud and perhaps then generate another sentence or two to describe the picture or answer a question. It all depends on the therapy goals. If we are working on typing or handwriting sometimes I have them try to write the sentence again from memory.
What a great value for only $3.99. The kids I have used this app with love it and often then willingly practice learning the new skills on their own:)
I also appreciate the fact that the developer of this app is very responsive to my suggestions for ways that this app can be improved.Show lessJoan Green M.A. CCC-SLP
Amazing!
Sentence Builder is an amazing tool for my high functioning son with autism and neuromuscular disease. We have been searching for a way for him to show sentence structure because he is unable to write legibly. At a recent IEP we were brainstorming ways to have him prove his abilites. Sentence Builder not only shows his skill level but allows him to build new skills! We are so excited.Show lessbethann_76
Practice Make Perfect
The iPad has certainly opened up a whole new world for developers, but more importantly it has allowed creative parents to find ways to encourage experiential learning in a positively addictive way. Sentence builder is a supportive, nurturing education application that allow kids to practice both critical reasoning and sentence completion while having fun. Learning is the most powerful when kids are not afraid to fail and they can master concepts by trial and error. This application excels at providing this environment for the kids. Sentence builder has great visuals. It has interactive sound. It has a calm voice. It has large buttons that can be easily understand and used by kids. Finally, it has an intuitive, non-complicated interface. Buy it for your kids at home, or if you are teacher, buy it for the kids in your classroom!Show lessEarly112
nice sentence structure building app
This app combines the concept of one BEST sentence with the added challenge of it being grammatically correct. A child might choose a reasonable alternative sentence for the scene that would also be correct, but there is only one choice that is grammatically correct, so your child has to look at the grammatical elements that can be combined to make a correct sentence that fits the scene. Very nice.Show lessSusan Tiner

I like the pictures and the reinforcers on this app. The students LOVE the animations! I think it's a great app for kids to use on their own.Diana Zimmerman, MS, CCC-SLP
