Best feature- the ability to record, use & type of pictures to elicit a complete sentence, a variety of student centered themes to chooseWhat could be better - data collection, emailing results & tape recordings, eliminate signing in after each sentence

I really enjoy using these cards. They’re great for teaching a variety of actions and pronouns. However, they would be more inclusive if there were a wider variety of ethnicities represented among the pictures.

Language Builder is a highly effective app designed to help students increase their expressive language skills; but it can be used for much more! The app houses pictured scenes that users are asked to create sentences about. This isn’t a written language task; the user formulates the sentence in their mind and then says it aloud while recording it. This voice record feature is highly motivating for our students! They love hearing themselves say the sentences that they have formulated about the pictures and enjoy playing with their voices in their recordings! The pictured scenes are appropriate for users of all ages and serve as a great teaching tool for a variety of skills. WH-Questions can be asked about the pictures, complex stories can be created by linking the pictures together to tackle creative writing skills. One of my favorite ways to use this app is as a self-monitoring tool for speech production targets (e.g., articulation, fluency and voice). Students can listen to their recordings and judge if they used their best /s/ sound, or if they used their best ‘smooth speech’.

This app helps children learn how to use language to describe a picture. The hints vary from fill in the blank, to prompting with a couple of writen words, to verbal cuing, depending on the level of the child. My daughter enjoys filling in the blanks right now and it is building her confidence in talking about the things she sees or experiences. I like that the app is easy to just pick up and use rather than needing a long tutorial. And the pictures are engaging and entertaining to my daughter. There are quite a few picture "packs" to choose from, something for almost any child. My daughter prefers the pets pack but if there was a "gaming" pack, she would certainly love that one most of all. Overall, a great app and one that is fun to use while helping my child overcome some of her verbal challenges.
