Awesome App!

This app is great for all my students from Kindergarten to 5th grade. I use the EET with my kids and this is a great companion activity. I like that there are answer choices for my students that need more support and the visuals/pictures are easy to identify. Up to 5 kids can play at a time, so for my therapy groups all kids can participate in the same activity. I highly suggest this engaging app to build on semantic skills as well as expressive and receptive language skills!

Great language app

This is a great app to work on expanding descriptive expressive language. Many of my students are unable to give details and this app targets this so well. Plus, it is fun for the students!

My most used app!

I love this for my kids working on categories and as practice using descriptive elements. It’s great for whole group lessons as well as easy enough for individual practice while I work with other students.

Fun for Older Kids

My school-aged kiddos love this app. It has lots of customizable options like offering choices versus a child producing their own response. The layout and design are great. Very easy to pick up and use without too many directions.

A fun app for receptive and expressive speech!

Describe it to Me is a fun way for kids to work on receptive and expressive speech! Designed like a game, with clear and high-quality pictures, kids must answer questions based category, function, parts, location, visual attributes, and more. You can also skip a particular item, and you may choose up to 5 students to play, so it is a good choice for group work. I love the printables in the app that go with what kids work on on iPad. I highly recommend this app. It was well worth the purchase price, and is not "babyish", so it is good for older kids as well.
