Plurality vs Talk Tales, Simple Sounds

Plurality is a memory game that makes practicing irregular plurals more portable and fun. Cheerful and colorful pictures demonstrate 24 different English irregular plurals in five levels of difficulty. Choose to use them all or select the ones you want to practice for more customized game play. Up to four players can compete to see who can get the most matches. Settings include an option to hear plurals named as they are touched, written cues and a “sneak peek” at matches. Players can also compete to see who can find a “bonus” match worth extra points.

Designed by a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 20 years of experience, this Talk Tales app includes three interactive stories created to help nonverbal and low-verbal children begin to imitate simple sounds. While this app will benefit all toddlers and children learning to make their first sounds (vowels/grunts, exclamations and animal sounds), it was designed based on motor learning theory to specifically to help children with childhood apraxia or an autism spectrum disorder.

MMM! Ah! Ew! EEE! Eh! Exclamation target sounds: Uh Oh! Bam Bam! Oh Man! Boom Boom! Oh No! Ow! Whee! Oh Yeah! Animal target sounds: Moo Moo! Oink Oink! Neigh! Baak! Aark! Meow!
