### 5/5 — Great practice in problem solving skills

*2019-09-27*

This is great practice in getting kids to read carefully and think about what the word problem is asking of them.  I like how I can have multiple students using this app and how it assesses their learning.

### 4/5 — Special Ed Teacher

*2016-08-21, version 1.1*

Love the apps!!! Would give it a 5 star if the problems could be read aloud

### 4/5 — LSBEWB

*2016-05-16, version 1.1*

Really good start for an app.  Just the kinds of questions kids need to consider.  Would be even better if the problems could be read aloud.

### 5/5 — These are the only apps you will need!!!

*2015-03-04, version 1.0*

I teach autistic children who struggle with language. Happy Frog Apps are the only apps where the students are guided with “hints” to figure out why an answer might be incorrect-not just “a wrong or right” answer. I love the sequential  steps Janine has so thoughtfully developed  to make teaching concepts such as inferencing, getting the main idea and  conquering word problems appealing to children who struggle with these concepts. Thank you Janine…… can’t wait for your next app!
