So much fun!! - Unique sentences -- These provide a great way for a child/adult to to get multiple productions of the target sound in one sentence. Examples of unique sentences from the initial p program are, “El panadero hace pan dos veces por día.” and “Paola pone un poco de pimienta en la pasta.” Each target word in the app was chosen very carefully.
