It is very customizable and is easy to setup and execute. Thank you. TP @jedipadmaster on twitter ### 5/5 — Fun app *2013-04-17, version 1.3* Another great app from Mobile Education Store! I really like the customization options and my kids do really well and work very hard when we use this app. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-04-17, version 1.3* This app is great for working on sentence construction. You have several options for teaching such as line coloring, word coloring and word grouping. There is a lesson available for each of the complexity levels that you can play before and/or after you work on a sentence. As with most of the Mobile Education Store apps, this a great application for education. ### 5/5 — Updated Review *2013-04-17, version 1.3* This app is wonderful! It helps children break down a sentence based on the pictures, helping the child grasp concepts of subjects, verbs, and words that describe the subject. It can be adjusted for skill level as well! This app is certainly worth the price! ### 5/5 — Has been so helpful! *2013-04-17, version 1.3* We have rediscovered this app for our younger daughter and are enjoying what a great learning tool this has been! ### 5/5 — Incredible app *2012-10-28, version 1.2* This is an amazing app and an amazing company. I have not found anything that works as well or as quickly to teach my daughter how to build sentences correctly. Her speech pathologist liked it so much that she bought it for her practice. Even better is the customer service. I had a problem when I purchased it where the screen wasn't displaying correctly. I sent an email and go a response in less than an hour. It turned out I had one of the iPad settings wrong. Once I corrected it, it worked great!! I judge companies by their products and how they respond when there is a problem, and Mobile Education Store gets 5 stars on both counts. ### 5/5 — WOW! *2012-09-13, version 1.1* This app does a fantastic job for teaching my 4 year old child with ASD and my 8 year old child wtih receptive language delay/auditory processing disorder. I love that it spans these age groups so well and challenges my kids at every level. The color-coding is perfect for children who need a little extra help with visual cues to put sentences together correctly. I also love the reward system (putting together a puzzle) used to motivate the child to practice and progress at each level. Another great special needs app. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-08-24, version 1.1* Great app for my therapy tool box to support classrooms! ### 5/5 — Speech and language pathologist *2012-08-20, version 1.1* I love this app!! I am going to use it in my therapy sessions with a lot of my students. I like the different levels. I like the color coding. The only thing that would make this app even better if it could speak the words as the user touches them. ### 5/5 — Rainbow Sentences *2012-08-20, version 1.1* I received this as a gifted app from Gary James. It is a wonderful app and I certainly appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into it. This teacher gives it 'two thumbs up!' ### 5/5 — Really helps make the connection! *2012-08-15, version 1.1* An excellent app for struggling or special learners. Multiple modalities for learning... Sight, audio, and touch. Gives new learners color cues and helps develop a full sentence for those that struggle with subject-only communication. Recording mode helps with fluency and intelligibility in speech environments. Build in reward system gives reinforcement in a puzzle-style while audio feedback gives immediate verbal reinforcement. Great tracking to demonstrate progress. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fantastic app for writing! *2020-04-23, version 1.6.1* Until today!! I am used to seeing another app advertising when I open the app, but it easily is closed. I use this app in Occupational Therapy in schools. Today there is an advertisement for another Mobile app that I cannot get rid of. I don’t want to erase the app, but it is worthless like this. ### 1/5 — Does not work at all *2012-10-20, version 1.2* I downloaded this, tried to make it work, re-loaded it, looked for support, adjusted settings - nothing. It tells me there are words but all I get is a picture and no words. I don't know how to contact support other than to leave this feedback. Even the description page of the app only scrolls partway and I can see that there is more information that I can't get to. I don't know if this is an iPhone app that is not working on the iPad, but they certainly took my $8 even if it isn't iPad compatible (I ordered and downloaded on the iPad). Pretty unhappy right now, I was trying to find something to continue on from Reading Raven, as my daughter finished all the levels, but this app seems like a dud. :( ### 3/5 — Great - but don’t put ads in a paid app *2020-06-02, version 1.6.2* The app is just what I have been looking for, but every time I open the app I am forced to dismiss an add for another app the company sells. If this was a free app, then I would expect that, but this is a paid app. Remove the ads, and this would be a 4-5 star app. ### 3/5 — Loads in to settings *2017-10-01, version 1.5.1* great app, but the problem I have is the program loads in to the settings options, and my son knows how to quit the app to home screen and reload the app, so all the time it is tablet time he is watching the help video that is intended for teachers or adults How can it be set to load in to the play mode, and restrict the settings for adults ? ### 3/5 — Excellent *2013-04-18, version 1.3* An excellent app with great flexibility ### 4/5 — One wish *2013-10-07, version 1.4* I love this app. The color coding and word grouping help provide support for beginning students and those who need practice to understand how to respond. The settings allow for those supports to be removed. I do wish that I could turn off the puzzle. It just distracts some of my students, and I have to manually close out of it. Then I have to get the student's attention all over again. ### 4/5 — Very good! *2013-07-29, version 1.4* As an elementary school English as a second language teacher, I find that many of Mobile Education Stores' apps are great. I use Rainbow Sentences because it has students think carefully about constructing grammatically correct sentences in a colorful and playful way. In the settings menu the teacher can scaffold the sentence building so that beginning kindergarteners all the way up to around the end of second grade level students can be challenged and successful. When the students correctly answer, there are some funny animated characters that come out and cheer for them. Likewise, there are words of encouragement if they answer incorrectly. The app has a statistics page so you can monitor the students' progress. One problem I have with the app is that you cannot go from a sentence that you are building to the settings or statistics page until/unless you correctly build the sentence. This creates unnecessary hassle if you want to quickly check-in on a student's progress or change the difficulty. ### 4/5 — Play lesson button *2013-07-05, version 1.4* Hello, I really like this app. Suggestion though. Can you take the PLAY LESSEN out of the area were the words are located? I use guided access to restrict where my daughter goes and she likes to here the instructions over and over and forget about the purpose of the game. If I block access to that part of the screen, where Play Lesson is, it prohibits grabbing the letters that are in that location. So can you move it up or have an option in the settings to remove it? Thanks! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2012-10-10, version 1.2* As a speech-language pathologist, I love this app. I am able to use with a variety of students and scaffold their learning. The visual cues of color coding are perfect for so many kids with communication disorders. Just wish there was a group option! But other than that it's great! ### 4/5 — Impressed!! *2012-08-14, version 1.1* I was really impressed that the various levels and skills of sentence building are all within this one app. I love the video tutorial, the options to change the settings for each student, and the performance report. This makes collecting data effortless! My favorite part about this app is that the child can record their own voice. Soooo cool! This in itself will be very motivating for my students. A few suggestions: I would like to see more immediate feedback with each correct answer. Also, I think it would be better if the words at the bottom of the picture were spoken instead of printed "Get 5 more correct to unlock the next puzzle piece." Too many extra things on the page can be overwhelming and distracting. Lastly, it may be a minor glitch but I was unable to email stats when clicking on the button in the performance report tab. Thank you Gary and A4cwsn for introducing me to a great app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app worth the money *2019-08-17, version 1.5.6* I love this app for teaching my clients sentence structure. It makes the prep very easy. I love being able to choose between three levels ### 5/5 — Ohio SLP *2014-04-25, version 1.4* Fantastic! This app is great for syntax development. It has so many levels of support so every student can be successful. I would LOVE to see other types of sentences added to the app such as questions and past/future tenses since many of my students struggle with those syntactical elements as well. ### 5/5 — Terrific reading app *2014-04-24, version 1.4* This is a great app for teaching correct sentence structure. The words and phrases are color coded for additional support. My sons have responded well to this app. ### 5/5 — It's worth the money *2014-02-16, version 1.4* They put so much thought into this app, it has many levels of differentiation so I can use it with different grade levels. It's simple to sit next to a student the first time playing it and alter the level if it's too hard or too easy, AND it remembers the specific level for every student the next day. Thank you! The pictures and sentences are cute, colorful, and kid friendly. If they make a mistake, a pleasant, encouraging voice helps them. The kiddos love the record feature where they can record, playback, and save their voice (while getting reading practice). This adds another level of creativity and reinforces reading with prosody. I wish all apps were at this level of professionalism. I only wish our entire grade level could afford it. Thanks, Kari ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2014-01-12, version 1.4* This is a wonderful app for children learning to construct sentences! The app employs a color coded system to aid children to correctly construct sentences, and the parent or therapist can change the colors, or as the child progresses, remove the color-codes system. The app has 3 difficulty levels as well. That is just the beginning! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2013-12-05, version 1.4* Mobile Education Store has done it yet again. Produced a fabulous app that is customizable for all levels. I am using this with my 4 year old and 10 year old. Love the color coded visual cues. This app will continue to grow with my children for a very long time. Great investment of my money. ### 5/5 — Multi purpose *2013-11-20, version 1.4* I love this app because it is a great structured way to support syntax development for writing and speaking. The color coding also allowed us to use it to target asking and answering questions. We used color coded "question word" cards that corresponded to the parts of speech that answered each question. After a student put a sentence together, one of his peers picked a question card and formulated a sentence, the first student then answered that question based on the content of the sentence. The app also supported their articulation goals by providing them with an opportunity to record saying the sentence, then playing it back. I also love that the complexity can be increased, and the color and line visual cues can be faded. My only request would be to add the option of making the pictures more age appropriate for high school students who are working on these goals. ### 5/5 — Rainbow Sentences *2013-05-21, version 1.3* Rainbow Sentences is a wonderful app for early writers or struggling writers. The sentences are color coded to match the lines of entry ensuring success for students. With 3 levels of difficulty to choose from, this app is a winner for classrooms of diverse learners. Easy to navigate and reinforcing feedback will help your student stay engaged and wanting to play more. Combined with creating sentences is the opportunity to build a puzzle for addition fun. An easy to access bar at the bottom has settings, archive of student recorded sentences and stats showing number of attempts at each sentence and correct tries. This app can be set up for multiple groups or users. The ability to email the stats/data is a plus. ### 5/5 — Use it all the time! *2013-04-26, version 1.3* I LOVE this app, I must use it at least 3-4 times a day. Great for language impaired students who cannot construct a sentence. It is particularly helpful that you can construct sentences with either word chunks (phrases) or individual words. It would be nice if you could skip to the next sentence without having to do the sentence, just in case you have a low-functioning student who does not understand the vocabulary in a particular sentence. Great job! Any chance of getting a similar app for older students, like middle school and high school special ed who might find the cartoons a little socially immature? ### 5/5 — One of our favorite apps! *2013-04-18, version 1.3* Rainbow Sentences is one of our favorite language arts apps. It is one of the most customizable apps available and with the current updates it is even better! The graphics are crisp and engaging and the reward system is perfect for my visual learners!
