The Basic Concepts app assesses comprehension of basic concepts in children from Pre-K to 1st grade. This app is a great resource for clinicians, teachers, and parents, to establish a baseline knowledge of basic concepts. It is important to note that the app does not score students. Instead, it is designed to be used by the child and teacher together so that you can quickly see which concepts the student has already mastered and which concepts require additional reinforcement and repetition. CONCEPTS INCLUDED - Spatial concepts: in, on, up, down, under, in front, behind, in between, in the middle, near, far, etc. - Quantitative concepts: whole, few, half, quarter, many, all, nothing, etc. - Emotions: happy, sad, upset, angry, etc. - Temporal: first, second, last, next, before, etc. - Attributive concepts: same, colors, different, light, dark, big, small - Negation: No, not, etc. - Directional: left, right, up, down, etc. - Colors: red, blue, green, etc. - Shapes: circle, square, heart, star, etc. WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT - Fun, simple, and easy to use - Can quickly establish baseline knowledge - Fun and interactive - Gorgeous graphics keep kids engaged - Kids find games on iPad a lot more interesting than a piece of paper WHY KIDS LOVE IT - Cute graphics and sounds - Interactive and easy to use HEROIC SUPPORT Heroic Support is not just what we do.
