Note: This free version does not have all of the scenes and features. You can unlock the full version with an in-app purchase. An updated Attainment software classic teaches hundreds of words in home, school, and community settings. Students select any object in 24 carefully illustrated scenes for speech and text identification. Animation, engaging graphics, and interesting environments provide student appeal. The teacher determines the words embedded in the scenes to differentiate instruction. Features List, Explore, and Scene Print options. In the list option, students search for words assigned by the teacher. Where would you find a basketball, broom, or mailbox? How about a fire hydrant, fire truck, or toaster? The results of the student’s search are stored in individual files. In the explore option, students freely move among home, school, and community locations, learning new words as they go. Use the scene print option to create vocabulary exercises or booklets. A great way to integrate sight word instruction with reasoning skills. Ideal for older students learning functional vocabulary.
