SentenceBuilder™ for iPad

It's worth spending money on this. Quite lot of information to spend time and teach my child. I know many times we spend one class of therapy by spending same $ but hesitant to spend on app. This is really worth and useful app. My child liked and mainly useful for expressing and initiating the talk. It took while to find this in App Store.

I use this app in my speech therapy practice. It is most appropriate for kids- but adults with aphasia also find it helpful. The colorful pictures are very engaging. Many individuals need work on written sentence formulation, but can't write or legibility is a big problem. This app is a wonderful way to get around those issues and focus on grammar and the connector words. I often expand on the app and encourage the kids or adults I am helping to say the final selection aloud and perhaps then generate another sentence or two to describe the picture or answer a question. It all depends on the therapy goals. If we are working on typing or handwriting sometimes I have them try to write the sentence again from memory. What a great value for only $3.99. The kids I have used this app with love it and often then willingly practice learning the new skills on their own:) I also appreciate the fact that the developer of this app is very responsive to my suggestions for ways that this app can be improved.

I am a school-based SLP, and I work with students who have complex communication needs, and this app is a favorite. I do have some wish list items, however: (1) an option for visual reinforcement for every correct answer, for my students with hearing impairment; (2) an option to control scrolling or lock in words for my students with motor planning problems; (3) an option to have a word spoken aloud when touched for my students with limited literacy; (4) an option to show students which words are correct or incorrect when they select, for my students who have impulse control issues or global processing issues/autism, to better help them 'keep trying'. I really like the variety of sentences and sentence structures used in the app. I also appreciate the ability to adjust levels and settings for individual students. Thanks for another great app!

The iPad has certainly opened up a whole new world for developers, but more importantly it has allowed creative parents to find ways to encourage experiential learning in a positively addictive way. Sentence builder is a supportive, nurturing education application that allow kids to practice both critical reasoning and sentence completion while having fun. Learning is the most powerful when kids are not afraid to fail and they can master concepts by trial and error. This application excels at providing this environment for the kids. Sentence builder has great visuals. It has interactive sound. It has a calm voice. It has large buttons that can be easily understand and used by kids. Finally, it has an intuitive, non-complicated interface. Buy it for your kids at home, or if you are teacher, buy it for the kids in your classroom!

Hey Folks, I'm an English language development teacher at the elementary school level. Building sentences is a regular practice in our classroom. This app offers an engaging, challenging, multi-sensory, puzzle-like approach to the practice. Students really have to think in order to get it right. When they do get it right, there's a fun celebration. The kids and I enjoy the app very much! Two things would improve this app from my perspective: 1) An easy way to switch between students so when an iPad is used in a small group, each student's success could be recorded. (The language card decks by Super Duper Publications have an elegant way to accomplish this. 2) An option to have the words the students select read aloud when students touch them.
