Tons of examples. ***** 5 Stars - My son struggles with comprehension and doesn't like reading long passages. This app teaches a high level of skill in a format he enjoys. Thanks!

With over 450 examples, a fun and engaging reward center to increase motivation, and content designed by professional teachers and researchers, this app is bound to capture the attention of your kids. Best of all, there is detailed reporting for up to 10 students to meet the needs of teachers, therapists and parents. Key Features: - Incremental learning. New levels are unlocked only when your child is ready. - Guided learning for less frustration. Your child will always be guided to the correct answer. - Fun and engaging Reward Center to increase motivation. - Contains over 450 examples, with content designed by professional teachers and researchers. - Inferences are taught from multiple perspectives: what inferences are possible, which are not possible, multiple inferences per sentence, etc. - Our own Smart Sentence technology is used to infinitely vary the examples to prevent learning by rote. - Advanced levels include timers to ensure fluency. Research shows fluency in the foundation skills is critical to reading comprehension. Our apps are designed for and tested by typical and special needs children. Testers include children with Autism and other special needs. Our apps work for them! The free version of this app has 4 free levels for a single player.

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 :-)

About SwiftSpeech A free, on-device speech-practice app that helps children who stutter or are working on fluency build confidence through short, illustrated daily quests. Every week brings a new original story, a few minutes of guided practice, and a quiet moment to reflect on how it felt. Where It Came From SwiftSpeech was built by Samarth Gaggar, who lived with a stutter through childhood. When his younger brother started down the same road, Samarth wanted to give him the kind of patient, structured, kid-first practice that did not exist when he was small. Every screen, every line of code, and every illustration is shaped by that lived experience and a simple belief: confident speech is something every child can grow into. What's Inside A 52-Week Journey of Original Stories Fifty-two illustrated read-aloud stories with short daily exercises, moving from breathing basics to confident storytelling. The On-Device AI Practice Lab Four listening exercises, Echo Mirror, Pace Coach, Tongue Twister Lab, and Conversation Quest, with live feedback and audio that never leaves the phone. Practice Journal A private, on-device space to log mood, feelings, and notes after practice so kids and parents can talk about how it felt, not just how long they practiced. Stars, Stamps, and a Sticker Album Gentle milestones and visual Foundations -> Flow -> Confidence map, no leagues, no pressure, no hearts to lose. Parent View Calm progress snapshots linked by Student ID, plus recent journal reflections to spark easy conversations at home. Schools and Clinics Organization Codes for teachers and SLPs to manage classes, customize plans, and export PDF discharge reports. Designed for Young Users No ads, no in-app purchases, spoken instructions for early readers, and microphone audio processed entirely on-device. No ads. No in-app purchases. Secure sign-in. Spoken instructions for kids who don't read yet. Microphone audio stays on the device. Who It Helps Children who stutter or are working on pronunciation, families practicing between therapy visits, and SLPs, schools, and early-intervention teams looking for a structured at-home tool.

Verdict
