Love this app!

This app is fantastic for young children as well as the special education kids. It allows them to watch a video and then asks them to write the story. They can record their story and listen to it! It is FANTASTIC! The kid will love this and I can't wait to use it with my kindergarten kids : )

Great great and great!

Both of my kids have and are enjoying creating their own storytelling (with lots of giggles)! Using the questions helped with my SN son who has a hard time engaging in conversation when being asked questions (unless something he enjoys) - this made it fun for him so he was engaged and learning! Highly recommend :-)

The pro version has allowed me to save both of my kids along with some of their friends. My son asked to use during his SLP group and his therapist recorded the group to try it out before purchasing. What a hit! This is a must have for groups or those with more than one child.

Love this app!

This app is a wonderful tool for encouraging story line development and overall reading comprehension. I love the ability to have multiple user profiles, which this Pro version allows. I would highly recommend this app to teachers, therapists and parents of multiple children. Nicely done Hamaguchi!

Super

Great app for encouraging the creative process, and work on speech at the same time

WOW! Great App!

This is an awesome app! It is so versatile! You can use it to work on writing skills, verbal skills, social skills, nonverbal skills, even basic skills like colors, naming objects, etc. The animations are colorful, lively and fun. I love the challenge words and the Question phrases to help initiate thoughts or conversation. You can vary your story so it is a little different. And what fun to be able to print it off or email it to friends or family. What a great app!

Storytelling at its finest!

Hamaguchi, you never disappoint me. This app allows children to be creative, use their imagination and express themselves. this is a challenge for many of the special needs I come in contact with. Seeing the picture and thus creating the story gives them ways to come out of their shell so to speak. love that you can record and/or write your story. way to go!

Great!!!

Another wonderful app from Hamaguchi! My daughter had previous experience with an earlier version of this app. She could hardly wait to play and tell the story again! She was so excited about the story that she wanted her grandparents to hear it. She giggled so much with the cute puppy and boy.

Awesome!!

Already tried the home version and loved it! This version has all the same awesome features and more! I love how the pro version allows for 30 users, which makes it possible for using with groups of students. The information page includes information about ideas for interventions you can use with this app, which is a valuable resource for educators and therapists. I also like how you can email the story, voice recordings, or both. Being able to print out their story is also a great feature!

WOW

I have the home version and love it. I know my teachers at my school would love this app. It does exactly what it says and the pro version gives you up to 30 different users.! Great stuff!

So useful.

This app allows the child to watch a clip, and play it back with the microphone on, so that the child can re-tell the story. They can then play the recording. So useful for self correction and learning. I like it!
