I have had my students use this to show understanding of stories they have read. We took pictures from the book and they had to retell the story in their own words. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2013-02-23* As a teacher my class of Year One children are loving this App ### 5/5 — Just like pre school in early 1970's *2012-12-24, version 2.0* Great APP. Just like myself, my son can now use this Sentence Maker. ### 5/5 — Sentence Maker *2012-09-13* Sentence maker is another great Grasshopper app that provides opportunities for students of all ages to make words. Its feedback of audio and visual information provides student with bimodal method of learning. The ability to customize it for students provides a method of individual using it to special needs students. Great program! Otswithapps ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-08-15, version 2.0* It helps my autistic kid so muc. ### 5/5 — Sentence Maker *2012-08-03, version 2.0* Love this app. My special needs son is learning to read by memorizing the words so this works like a charm. I hope you will offer more complicated sentences as he advances. Love the clear uncluttered photos. I would suggest highlighting each word as the final sentence is read. ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-07-05, version 2.0* This app's just perfect! Great! ### 5/5 — LOVE GRASSHOPPER!!!! *2012-06-10, version 2.0* The fact that all of their apps are customizable makes playing and learning more fun for my son. You can use family pics and other pics your child likes to make it more special for them. My son loves it even more now that I add custom pics of him. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2012-06-09, version 2.0* My son likes this- it helps with articulation. Worth it. ### 5/5 — Creative SLP *2012-05-31, version 2.0* I LOVE this app! 💙💛💜💚❤ Yesterday I built a set of custom sentences for a student in 15 minutes using Google images. Then, during the speech session, I took a picture of my student and immediately added another sentence to her game. What could be easier than that!?! ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-05-23* This app is very helpful because the pictures are clear and fun, and the sentences are simple to construct. There are numerous options to customize which is invaluable. My only suggestion (like another reviewer) is to make the "destination" tiles the same number of letters or just a slot of some type for the child to drag to. Currently my child often counts the number of letters of the "destination" tiles to see if they will fit instead of making sure the words are in the right order. ### 5/5 — Simple and encouraging *2012-05-22* Because its so simple and instantly rewarding my kids enjoy it and learn words and sentences easily. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 3 finger tap not working *2015-12-11, version 2.1* Can not open settings as the three finger tap is not working so it won't open. please fix!!!! ### 2/5 — Setting *2026-02-08, version 3.1* Good app but now I am not able to open settings tried many times I recommend for families but they complain that they can’t open settings too.please fix the problem ### 2/5 — Settings adjustment DOES NOT WORK! *2016-05-05, version 2.1* It was a great app until you couldn't do any adjustments in the settings!!!! Very frustrating when using it for a student, even they were frustrated! ### 2/5 — Decent *2014-04-08, version 2.0* The app is ok. However, it allows the words to be placed out of sequence. This can create a behavior if you tell the child "try again" or "fix sentence". I think it would be better if it didn't allow child to place words out of sequence. Please change ASAP. ### 4/5 — Fun for age 5 *2012-07-06, version 2.0* My daughter really enjoys this app. Seems appropriate age-level material for 5 years. ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2012-06-23, version 2.0* It's a helpful app for my students who are emerging readers. The only problem is that the audio/speaker reads the whole sentence too fast after the words have been matched. I hope the app makers can give us an option to have control on this portion. . ### 4/5 — Sentence Maker *2012-05-22* I use this for special education students and have found it invaluable. This not only supports students with Autism as well as students who have Specific Learning Disabilities. The fact that photos can be added to support specific student needs is a great feature. Students can record their own voices and this makes it very engaging and supports language development. ### 4/5 — Great apps *2012-05-15, version 2.0* Excellent learning tool. ### 4/5 — Great pictures *2012-05-09, version 2.0* My students really like the pictures, especially the cute animals. I love that I can choose the levels for them. ### 4/5 — Great app for toddlers! *2012-05-04, version 2.0* Great app for toddlers! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very appealing for nonverbal ASD child! *2019-02-16* From the sound effects, being able to customize to my child’s interests, and the bargain price. I recommend this app to promote literacy for any child of all abilities. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2018-09-20* Extremely helpful ### 5/5 — Hope School *2017-10-01* This app is great. My little pk students are learning to put words together to make sentences. We read a new book every two weeks. For example, this week we are reading Brown Bear Brown Bear. I am able to take all the pictures from the book and make sentences. Awesome. ### 5/5 — Go to settings! *2017-09-13* This app is great. So customizable. I use it daily with my early language learners. ### 5/5 — Sentence Maker *2017-06-23, version 3.1* I really enjoy using this app with the children who attend our service . I like being able to personalise sentences using their own pictures to connect literacy work with their own lived experience ### 5/5 — Awesome app!! *2015-02-27, version 2.1* Hopefully in the next update you can add animation or video.
