Overview

Teaches simple to complex sentence structure and understanding of 'wh' questions. The app is designed for SLP

Comprehension Builder Description: Comprehension Builder is a unique educational app that teaches construction of simple sentences in color-coded parts, with subject, verb, object and preposition components while asking “Wh” questions – (Who? What? Where?) to build comprehension. This bottom-up approach is presented in five different sections of sentences types, from simple to complex sentence forms, all presented in present tense. Three levels are also included: Level 1 – color-coded sentence parts with color-coded matching areas to drag sentence parts in making sentences. Level 2 - color-coded sentence parts without the color-coding to match for sentence building. Level 3 – Each word is presented separately, without color-coding, for the highest level of difficulty in constructing a sentence. This application is appropriate for multiple populations, from children to adults, regular education and special education, with disorders such as autism as well. Parents, educators, and speech pathologists will love the simplicity and teaching tools within this app, while users will enjoy the picture content and reward screen after number of correct responses. For regular education learning, young children are beginning to form simple sentences and to learn how words in a sentence need to be organized. For special education, basic language skills are very difficult and must be taught in a structured way. Interpretation of questions is an area of difficulty that is addressed in this app, explicitly teaching the components of Who? What doing? What? and Where? FEATURES: - Simple and user-friendly interface to select responses to questions and structure grammatically correct sentences. - Hundreds of pictures to enhance comprehension - Functional vocabulary - Receptive and expressive tasks - Grammar and syntax - Pronouns - Present Progressive Verb Tense - Punctuation - Articulation at sentence level - Recording feature for self-monitoring - A hierarchy of sentence structures from simple to complex - Three levels of sentence-building for a scaffolding approach to teaching - All sentences and content developed by certified Speech Language Pathologist OTHER GREAT FEATURES: No advertisements or in-app purchases Audio reinforcement and reward screen Settings that allow changes to be made for individual users.

As a Speech Language Pathologist, I love using this app in therapy for children who need to build comprehension of "wh" questions, but also those who need to practice basic sentence structure and grammar. It targets receptive and expressive language skills. I also love that I can add my own content, and it is easy to do. I really love this app!
