Developing Sentence Strips vs Describing Skills

As you work with learners to broaden their reading/sight word volcabulary, helping them see the words used in context is an important tool. Buying commercial sentence strips or preparing them in advance can certainly be helpful, but we wanted a way to tap into the context of the moment as we worked with learners. Writing out a sentence and then cutting out each word is time consuming and cumbersome while working one-on-one or in small groups with learners. Our goal for this app was to provide a tool to quickly enter a sentence given by a learner, break that sentence into individual words, and scatter them on the "table" for them to reconstruct their sentence. We also included a way to easily add/remove punctuation and add/delete words one at a time.

Does your learner struggle with describing objects, people and events? These expressive language skills can be challenging for children with Autism/Aspergers and for adults with aphasia or other cognitive issues. The Describing Skills app provides step-by-step activities to quickly build the ability to describe objects, people and events in detail. What parents say about our awesome apps: *** 5 stars!

 *** 5 stars! My kids love this app because of the fun, silly sentences. I love it because it works! 
 Describing Skills provides: - Graduated practice at describing objects, people and events. Skills are built one descriptor at a time and gradually combined until they can easily describe an item using 6-10 sentences. - Audio support for weak readers. - 'At a glance' reporting shows your child's progress instantly. The ability to verbalize and describe their world is vital for all learners.   Whether it is describing an item they are looking for, recounting an incident that occurred to them, this app will ensure your learner has the ability to express their needs, concerns and interests. Other benefits: - FRUSTRATION FREE: Your learner builds skills incrementally and only progresses when mastery is shown. - REWARD CENTER: The fun and engaging Reward Center increases motivation. - EXTENSIVE REPORTING: for up to 10 players to suit the needs of parents, teachers and therapists.
 Please note: Except for very independent students, this app requires the support of a parent or therapist to evaluate a child's responses. Commit five minutes per day and you will see astounding progress!
