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 Irregular Verbs Fun Deck® by Super Duper® Publications. Select the cards you want students to see, and have your students fill in the blank to practice irregular past, present infinitive, and future tense verbs. The prompts include statements like, “Beth will ___ the race.” and “Yesterday, Beth ___ the race.” 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.
