## What is Syntax Workout?

****This app provides a fun way to target many different grammatical constructs. The bowling theme is lots of fun! Every child who has tried the app has requested using it again during the next therapy session. They love the reinforcement activity! The option to target receptive/expressive syntax in one app is a huge plus as well! (Carries Speech Corner)****
****Syntax Workout is awesome! It combines working on work structure with bowling and it is a ton of fun! My students rate this app two thumbs up. They worked hard on mastering the learning that was presented to them but LOVED the opportunity to bowl. They stayed so motivated. (Appabled)****

Syntax Workout app was created by a certified speech and language pathologist for preschool and elementary school-age children who struggle with English grammar.  

Syntax Workout app is another addition to the series of “Workouts” (Auditory Workout and Sentence Workout) developed by Virtual Speech Center.

-Absolute possessive pronouns: mine, your, his, etc. (organized into different sets)

### 4/5 — My "go-to" app for syntax

*2015-05-24, version 1.5.1*

Use this app all the time due to its versatility and ability to target IEP goals.  My students love to work to earn the bowling game.

### 4/5 — Good app for younger students

*2014-12-03, version 1.5.1*

I love having all the choices of syntax in one app as it allows me to target individual goals in the group.  I like the audio option which requires the child to listen before making a choice.  As always, the automatic data keeping is a plus.

### 5/5 — Great app! :-)

*2014-04-22, version 1.4*

The most recent update fixes the issue of distorted photos. The robust content and the use of photos make this app perfect for students with language delays as well as autism.

Thanks for the improvements!
---------------
Covers a wide variety of skills, using photos and not the cartoons featured in so many other speech-language apps. This developer's apps are good overall. Contacted the developer for questions on another of their apps -- they responded to both my queries in a day or so. Sweet!
