SLP

This app is great if you're working on categories. I have a lot of students that need extra help with this goal. This app is definitely a go-to when I am targeting this goal.

Motivating app for categories

I recently added this app to my collection for targeting categories and it has been successful. One particular student is especially motivated to practice now. The images are a little small, but this app has been great so far for data collection and motivating my students.

Love this app

This is the only app I use when working on categories. I like how it has different levels and that it’s a multiplayer app. For some of my students that are a little higher, I have them tell my why items go together and what makes them different. My students enjoy using this app, and so do I!

Great for Learning and Fun!

This app is wonderful! I love how great it is when students are learning categories! Most students find it so motivating! I have even used it at the end of a session for motivating good work! The students don’t even know they're learning!

Great for autism

Great for receptive language for kids with autism or language impaired kids with limited verbal output.
