We collect NO private information in our app, and our apps do not allow unrestricted web access. Inferencing is a key component of reading comprehension. If you can't infer fluently, you can't understand the story. Help your child now by getting started with our Inference Ace app. While you're at it, check out our other apps that target WH questions, identifying inference clues and identifying the main idea of a sentence or paragraph. We take customer service very seriously! If you ever have a problem or find that we've missed something, contact us at our website and we will do our best to fix the problem. ** Note: Inference Ace and Inference Clues intentionally use similar data sets. However, different skills are targeted. Also, when working through this app, you will encounter different variants of the same examples many times as we teach our players to derive multiple inferences from a single sentence -- just like expert readers do. This is an intentional feature, not a bug :-)

Listening Power Advanced Lite provides listening practice for students from late elementary school age through high school and beyond. No subscriptions needed. Designed by Patti Hamaguchi, M.A., CCC-SLP, a licensed speech-language pathologist and author of books and tests on auditory and language processing, this app focuses on language processing (grammar, vocabulary, narrative and question comprehension) and auditory processing tasks (auditory memory, rapid auditory processing, auditory closure and auditory figure-ground). It's a perfect app to supplement speech, language or auditory therapy! This app was previously released as "Listening Power Grades 4-8+ Lite HD" . We have renamed it to better reflect the older students and adults who have reported benefitting from this app. It is now a universal Apple app that is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and Macbook. There are 5 activities in this app and over 150 questions total, in the following categories: Listening for Grammar (Which sentence sounds right?) Listening for Meaning (What does that mean?) Listening for Fast Sentences (What did I say?) Listening for Missing Sounds (What did I say?) Listening for Stories: (Various questions about the story-includes optional visual and/or background noise distraction) An auto advance/drop setting automatically adjusts the level of difficulty of the app. Text can be turned on (for reading decoding and comprehension practice) or left off. Within the Settings, you can select 2, 3 or 4 choices as well as the Easy, Intermediate, or Advanced level. Questions?
