This colorful educational App for the iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch® has all 52 illustrated picture flash cards (plus audio of each card’s text) from the Was & Were Fun Deck® by Super Duper® Publications. Select the cards you want students to see, and have your students fill in the blank to practice the verb forms “was” and “were.” The prompts include statements like, “Brad ___ washing dishes” and “Brad and Deb ___ washing dishes.” The Automatic Scoring option allows the students to choose from one of two answers to complete the sentence correctly. This App is simple to use — each student looks at an illustration and either reads the prompt or touches the screen to listen to the prompt and answer choices.
