After one trial it plays an animation and then when you try to close it the whole app closes ### 1/5 — Not Working *2024-09-27, version 2.4.0* I purchased the entire bundle and this app isn’t working at all. Please help! ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-02-27* Won’t start any of the modules stuck on the same page! ### 2/5 — Not working *2024-02-18* After the first attempt the app turns off and it want record the material attempted. ### 4/5 — Great for consistency and pace, but only for readers *2020-04-01, version 1.53* Hi - this was easily the best such app for my 4yo bilaterally cochleae implanted daughter, until I realised that it doesn’t read out the sentence aloud - the child has to be able to read! It would be great if it could read out the sentence to be completed! ### 3/5 — Good with one issue *2018-02-21, version 1.53* I like this app a lot; however, the one thing that seems to of been taken away since I originally was using this app is the fact that I can’t check which Prepositions I want target. They are all checked and I want to be the one in control of what prepositions I’m targeting as some are harder than others. ### 5/5 — Great app for teaching prepositions *2014-04-27, version 1.30* This app is a great visual app for teaching prepositions. My son finds it very motivating and enjoys the animated reinforcers when he has a correct answer. I do think this app is more appropriate for readers since they are expected to drag the correct answer into a sentence. I don't think it would be as helpful for pre-readers. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-12-05, version 1.30* We have seen great improvement with my son since starting to work with this app. Love that there is a feature for reinforcement when he gets an answer correct. With the drag and drop feature we are also working on his fine motor skills. Fantastic app! ### 4/5 — Great app for teaching prepositions! *2013-11-04* PrepositionBuilder™ is a fantastic app to teach children a wide variety of prepositions. You can choose from 9 different modules, each of which target 3 specific prepositions. The app uses fun cartoon pictures to depict each sentence, including the preposition, and children need to select the correct preposition, then drag and drop it into the sentence. This app supports multiple users, and has options for turning off audio instruction and correct answer reinforcement. There are no ads or social links. My son enjoys learning with Mobile Education apps, so he was a little disappointed that he had to wait through an entire module (about 21 questions) for a reward animation. I would like to see the ability to change the frequency of the reward animation in settings, as it is in several other apps by this developer. I do recommend this app though. ### 5/5 — Awesome app for kids with autism *2013-03-21* Preposition Builder makes use of errorless teaching and applied behavior analysis methodologies to teach and evaluate understanding of prepositions. Like other Mobile Education Store apps, Preposition Builder can keep track of progress of multiple students in a class. Prior to starting an exercise, the teacher (or student!) can choose which prepositions are being evaluated, and whether or not to record the student’s voice reading each sentence. A series of short story animations can be unlocked with each completed section. This provides incentive for students to complete the exercises so that they can find out how the story ends. To provide documentation of student progress, Preposition Builder allows reports to be emailed to students or teachers. My only recommendation for future updates to this program would be the ability to email progress reports for ALL students (or perhaps an option to print?). Depending on the number of students in a class, it can become tedious sending individual records for each student. ## Frequently asked questions about PrepositionBuilder™ ### What does PrepositionBuilder™ do?
