Picture the Sentence HD Lite vs HearBuilder Sequencing

“She is eating an apple.” What does that sentence really mean? What would those words look like if I imagined this image in my mind? Picture the Sentence is an exciting app for the iPAD designed to practice language and auditory processing tasks at the basic sentence level. This app offers three different levels of difficulty so the child can learn how to attend to important elements of a sentence and “picture it,” attaching meaning to the words and eventually forming mental pictures without visual support. It is also an excellent choice for anyone who is trying to learn and understand the English language. **Turn the voice commands off and the text feature on, and this game can also be a great way to practice basic reading comprehension skills too! The lite version works the same as the full version, except the lite version allows 3 users only, and targets only the subject + verb + object syntax structures. Because these kinds of intensive listening tasks can be challenging for some children, we have incorporated a cute “Pick-a-Door” game, which can be selected at varying intervals so the user can take a break and have a little fun. Also newly added: "Pop the Bubble" game too! Options in the Settings Include: •Choice of color drawing icons or stick figures •Levels include: Easy (slow, with visual support staying on the screen) Intermediate (faster rate with pauses, with visual support flashing briefly on the screen) and Advanced (no pausing or visual support) •Text on/Text off •Choice of subjects: Pronouns (He/she/they) or nouns (boy/girl/children) •Sandtimer (This delays the presentation of the picture choices so there is a greater challenge to the child’s working memory.) •Sentence Type available in the Lite version: subject + verb + object * Progress/Data Tracker: email, save, or print the results *Select the number of choices *Please contact our tech support if you are experiencing any technical issues with our apps. We will always help you troubleshoot it and get back to you generally within one business day. We cannot respond to reviews and there are generally easy solutions to every issue. info@hamaguchiapps.com PRIVACY POLICY: We do NOT collect personal data from our users and have no ads.
