** Happy Frog Apps is a Mom’s Choice Award Winner! Also featured on FunEducationalApps.com, TeachersWithApps.com, and more! ** The “Comprehension Builder” app builds skills in passage comprehension, working memory and answering multiple choice questions about a text. What parents say about our awesome apps: *** 5 stars! Brilliant! An app that understands how kids actually learn. Thank you. *** 5 stars! Every one of your apps that I’ve tried is great! When using “Comprehension Builder”, your learner will first read a passage. The learner must then hold the information in memory in order to answer a multiple choice question. To build sustained attention and working memory, early levels contain 2-sentence texts with limited word count. As comprehension is demonstrated and memory increases, the texts increase in length and difficulty. “Comprehension Builder” contains 200+ fiction and non-fiction texts on a variety of topics. This app is perfect for learners who: - when reading or listening, information seems to ‘go in one ear and out the other.’ - have trouble responding to questions about a text unless they can refer back to the text. - can understand each sentence, but don’t seem to put them together to make meaning from the text as a whole. Additional Features: - Incremental learning. New levels are unlocked only when your child demonstrates mastery. - Fun and engaging Reward Center to increase motivation. - Contains over 600 questions, with content designed by professional teachers and researchers.

Speech Kingdom helps children with speech, language, social delays and disorders. Working with SLPs, psychologists, behaviorists, therapists, special-education teachers, and parents, we have created fun, easy-to-use, interactive social exercises and skill-based games devised to improve communication. Speech Kingdom is a learning tool and is intended to be used by students in conjunction with single or multiple supervising adults, therapists or teachers. Customized student avatars, created by the student, actually put the child right into their own story. Social stories target “theory of mind” (patent pending) and are available in various stages of speech and social language development—fundamental, beginner, intermediate, and proficient—instead of age or grade level. Dozens of setting modifications are offered to tailor each experience for students of varying abilities. The application runs on virtually any device and from any browser. It’s enjoyable, and it’s easy to get started. Join us today in Speech Kingdom, the Land of Social Communication.
