Speech Therapy App: Rainbow Sentences

I absolutely love all the speech therapy apps I’ve used by Mobile Education Store, and their newest one, Rainbow Sentences,  is no less impressive.  This iPad app is great for speech therapy, but I’d say it’s really a grammar app – great for any student who is just having trouble in English class with the who, what, when, where, and why of sentences.

Rainbow Sentences has 165 fun photos to create sentences from.  The words of a corresponding sentence are below the photo.  The words are color-coded b those that go together; the blanks that the words go in are color-coded as well, but you can turn these color hints on and off to change the level of complexity and make the activity easier or harder for your kiddo.  As a matter of fact, there are six different levels you can work on or progress to.n I adore the fact that it is so customizable for use with lots of different students, and easy to change when a child is ready to move up a level of difficulty. As just a parent, not a teacher or therapist, this app is very easy to use and facilitate, which I love!  The tutorials are quick & helpful.

Another fun thing I love about this app is that after you get so many correct responses, you get to unlock a puzzle piece on a picture – great motivation to get lots of answers right so you can figure out what the mystery picture is!

I have Sophie look at the picture and tell me what’ s happening in the picture before she starts putting the words in the correct order to form a sentence.  Then, she goes for it.  After she’s done, she can record the sentence and play it back to hear herself. I love this feature!  Helps work on her articulation, and she’s hearing herself say a sentence the way it was meant to be said.

Here’s a short video of Sophie playing on her own:

I highly recommend this app for speech, grammar help, or homeschool! I bet it’s helpful for learning English as a second language, too, although since I have no experience with that, that’s just an “educated guess”.

Go buy it on iTunes or the app store! It’s well worth the $7.99.

Thanks, Mobile Education Store, for letting Sophie and I review this app. Great work once again!
