** Featured on FunEducationalApps.com & theAppyLadies.com ** Inference Clues helps build strong reading comprehension skills in a fun, game-like environment. As well as generating inferences, players identify the clue words that lead to an inference -- a vital comprehension skill and part of the Common Core standards. ***** 5 Stars! This is another great app from Happy Frog. I really like how your apps target a specific skill. ***** 5 Stars Just what my son needed. Thanks for your great apps. We are working our way through all of them! Inference Ace 2 is targeted to children in Grades 2-5 who can read the words (decode), but who need help with understanding what they read. Key Features: - Builds inference skills step-by-step until mastery. - Incremental learning. New levels are unlocked only when your child is ready. - Can be used independently (just hand it over, your child will know what to do) or with a therapist for reading intervention. - Guided learning for less frustration. Your child will always arrive at the correct answer. - Fun and engaging Reward Center to increase motivation. - Advanced levels include timers to ensure fluency. Research shows fluency in the foundation skills is critical to reading comprehension. - Detailed reporting for up to 10 students to meet the needs of teachers, therapists and parents.

Make speech therapy fun with Fonemo Plus+. When you buy Fonemo Plus+ you get all speech sounds automatically. "I really liked that the app is easy to setup and understand. I think this is a nice alternative to the standard speech practice sheets that are often sent home." says Amanda Blackburn, reviewer on the website iHeartThisApp. Fonemo Plus+ is a tool to help children with speech sound disorders. With Fonemo Plus+ you can practice for instance the sound s in many ways. To make the training of speech sounds fun, Fonemo Plus+ works as a game. Saying words out loud is part of the game. You can record the childs pronunciation and together you can listen to it. If you have played the game memory you can play Fonemo Plus+. Pair cards with images that are alike. In Fonemo Plus+ all the images contain words with the current speech sound. Whenever you wonder how a word is pronounced the teddy bear can help you. Poke the teddy in the belly and teddy will tell you what’s on the card. Then you can press the microphone that you will find on the game board, repeat the word and listen to it. The recorded sound will play automatically, but you can also press the speaker if you want to listen to it again. Fonemo Plus+ is easy to learn. The child does not have to be literate since the game is based on images. The cards contain words with the current speech sound in the beginning, the middle or in the end. You can also practice the speech sound adjacent to a vowel, a consonant or mulitple consonants. Do you want to see something funny? Poke the teddy in the belly before you turn the first card!
