All teachers should buy this as it will definitely help children improve their writing! ### 5/5 — Exciting Sentences *2014-05-04, version 1.0* A multi-purpose app which is suitable for KS2, reluctant writers, EAL pupils and SATS revision. ### 5/5 — Primary Teacher must have! *2014-05-04, version 1.0* Every primary school teacher needs this app. Easy to navigate with guide to the sentence types and how to differentiate for pupils working at different NC levels. Perfect teacher tool- there should be more apps like this! ### 5/5 — Must-have app for all who teach literacy! *2014-05-04, version 1.0* Alan Peat's Exciting Sentences have already had an impact on the writing levels in my Y4 class. This app is a great point of reference for all of the sentence types and will make it even easier to use the sentences in my lessons. ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2014-05-04, version 1.0* I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this app! One to share with all your school colleagues. It's well laid out and easy to use. The ability to make your own notes is fantastic. Developmental continuum and glossary also very useful! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-05-04, version 1.0* Brilliant! A pocket sized edition of the exciting sentences book. Smaller, but packs the same punch of quality and usability. Well done and thanks. ### 5/5 — Useful for ALL teachers looking to improve writing. Fabulous Resource! *2014-05-04, version 1.0* What a great app! I have a copy of 'Exciting Sentences' in book form but this will be much handier! I've used Exciting Sentences esp BOYS sentences, in the past, with my class of special needs children (SEBD) and it's had a positive impact on their writing. This app will make it much easier for the children to use these ideas themselves. Highly, highly recommend...not quite a double ly sentence :) This is an app that would be useful for ALL teachers looking to improve writing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Love it! But hard on older eyes... *2014-07-12, version 1.1* Fabulous to have this at your fingertips on iPhone. Just wish the app would allow rotation to landscape view as the text is v. small on iPhone screen and magnifying means you have to constantly move the text to read across the page. So, please app developers...! ### 4/5 — Excellent App *2014-05-05, version 1.0* Great mobile resource, very useful information and resources. ### 4/5 — A must for teachers! *2014-05-04, version 1.0* A brilliant App. This app is amazing: clear and easy to follow; details a wide variety of sentence types; differentiated and linked to genres! A must for all teachers! I've been waiting for this app for a while and I'm not disappointed! Thank you Alan Peat. ### 4/5 — Looks good, pocket sized book *2014-05-04, version 1.0* Looking forward to using this long awaited app. Gives you the sentences and examples at your fingertips. Always find Alan's sentences give pupils and teachers great ideas, and impact quickly. First app of many I hope! ### 5/5 — A fantastic app!! *2015-07-21, version 1.1* This app is fantastic for teachers. As an NQT there is a lot of jargon out there to remember in your first year of teaching! I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to remember all of the vocabulary and definitions that you are required to teach, but with this app at my fingertips, I am much more confident that I am doing the job properly. There are even suggestions for teaching strategies. :) ### 5/5 — LOVE IT! *2014-09-30, version 1.1* This app is a godsend- a user friendly, simple but incredibly effective way to develop writing with children. As a year 6 teacher- I love it! ### 5/5 — The best literacy app on iTunes. *2014-07-02, version 1.1* I first discovered Alan Peat when his “25 ways to improve your sentences” was recommended to me by a colleague. Alan Peat clearly understands teachers, the material is simple and quick to use, which meant I could teach each method to the whole class, as well as using them for ‘Guided Writing’ interventions with smaller groups. The proof is in the pudding. Writing standards raised immediately with children using grammatically mature sentences - and hugely enjoying the process. Within a month or so, all other teachers in my phase were using these techniques. During extended writing sessions, children can quickly and decisively be prompted to improve their work by being asked to, for example, add a BOYS sentence. In sum, this is as close to a necessary purchase for KS2 teachers that I have found. ### 5/5 — Must-buy for KS2 teachers! *2014-06-22, version 1.1* I wish I'd discovered Alan Peat's books/ideas when I started teaching - his sentence names & ideas not only work (& fast - what's wrong with that?!) but even the most reluctant writers (boys included) get excited about using Exciting Sentences & get quite competitive about coming up with the best examples. Don't struggle with complicated terms for sentence structure that turns kids (& some teachers) off - learn about 2A, Emotion Word, (comma) and so many other Exciting Sentences. This app would be a bargain at a fiver - BUY IT! ### 5/5 — Must have app for teachers! *2014-06-22, version 1.1* Can't rate this resource highly enough - easy to use and brimming with useful examples of a range of sentence types. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2014-06-10, version 1.1* Great app that is easy to use and has some good examples of each exciting sentence. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Brilliant App! *2014-06-10, version 1.1* I have used Alan’s exciting sentences in my teaching for many years with fantastic results. This app is extremely useful when planning and teaching using the sentence types. It is a very handy quick reference guide. A must have! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-05-16, version 1.0* I already have his book to plan from but this app is great to show in the classroom via the Apple TV. It has improved my year 4's writing a lot! ### 5/5 — Inspiring Writing *2014-05-06, version 1.0* In a world where children are writing for a global audience this app allows teachers to have the tricks of the trade at their fingertips and plan on the move. While the books have been inspiring writers to use complex, exciting vocabulary for years, the app adds an instant dimension to writing which is fitting for education today. The links to cloud storage and email are great for planning and the glossary is easy to access. ### 5/5 — Exciting sentences on the go!!! *2014-05-05, version 1.0* I've bought and read the app!!! A BARGAIN at one and half squid - my own mini book, at hand, wherever and whenever. (I tapped 5 stars but it's only come up as 3 stars. Definitely 5 stars !!!!!!) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
