Awesome App by Mobile Education Store

Awesome Language Skills App!

Last night I walked into my bedroom. Propped up with her ipad in our new king-sized bed was my ten year old, checking out her many apps. When I suggested Tense Builder she willingly opened the app and clicked on a lesson to watch.

Truth be told I have a child who loves to learn. But she learns in a way where traditional classroom methods don't always work. Because of brain, vision, and fine motor conditions she needs the material presented in alternative methods.

The ipad coupled with carefully chosen apps are moving her toward increased independence. Apps we look for are easy for her to manipulate, visually stimulating and have engaging content.

While she did not talk until she was 4-1/2 her love for language is insatiable. When I first introduced Sentence Builder, Conversation Builder, Language Builder, and Story Builder apps to her this summer she chose them over all of her others apps. This went on for weeks. She did the lessons and practiced the concepts. When she started fifth grade at a new school in August I could see the difference in the way she communicated with teachers and students.

Even so I wondered if she would be able to grasp the concepts in Tense Builder.

Silly me. She's had it for two weeks. I watch her eyes when she stops mid-sentence and rethinks what she just said. Then, typically with a question mark at the end of the sentence, she changes the tense and looks to me for approval. When I beam in response she knows she's figured it out.

Last night while I was typing I heard her say, "That's future tense." It was heartwarming to watch her go from timid to brave when she pressed the "play" button. It's an added bonus that she is able to practice her speech articulation.

Now I can't wait to install Conversation Builder for Teens.

Thank you Mobile Apps--keep them coming!-- Allyson
