It’s pretty good

I use this app after another app that uses video to teach the different tenses and utilizes an immediate complete model. This one is a “no-frills” type of app but enables some generalization for my students. Some of them like to record their “news” and others do not. I would like it if there were a different type of reinforcer available. I like the different levels of increasing difficulty the app offers.

Nice app!

Updating the rating to five stars. Photos are updated, and now the strengths of the app shine through. This is one of the few apps that targets this functioning level, breaking up a key language concept into manageable bits.

Initial Review: Like the developer's other apps, photos are weird and distorted.

Good Speech therapy app for learning verb tenses

is designed to teach your child the correct way to use verb tenses. The app has a neat introduction, and three activities: auditory bombardment, Fill In, and Make Up Sentences. There are many verbs, as well as tense options to choose from, however, aside from fill-in, the app relies completely on expressive speech, so if you have a child that has any significant issues with expressive speech speech or articulation, the other sections of the app may become very frustrating, as they did for my son. Also, the app is not the easiest to navigate. It may be a wonderful app for many other children with speech delays, but it is not a great fit for my child's specific needs. I would recommend this app for verb tenses for children who do not become frustrated with the requirement to produce significant speech and record it. If that is your child or client, this app may be great for you. It does have data tracking for multiple students, and no ads or IAPs.

Great report and opportunity

Nice data report. I love that it has a recording option to then create and record sentences working on the tenses!
