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.

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!

I have been using this app with our 7-year-old daughter with special needs since January. We use it 3 to 4 times per week. The focus on word choice is helping with both her written and spoken language skills. This app is great in that she can practice sentence creation before she is able to actually write a sentence. This app is really helping her keep up with her peers in a fully-included classroom.
