Calling all middle school and high school SLPs!!! I've got a great app review for you guys from Mobile Education Store! This one is simple, to the point, and awesome…as usual!
Sentence Builder Teen is designed to engage your teenage students and target building grammatically correct sentences.
The menu page is where you will select your options for the student. There are 3 levels of play and two modules available, Teen Boy or Teen Girl. You can also toggle on/off audio instructions and reinforcement.
When you start to play, the student is give a picture and the sentence wheel at the top. The objective is to create the correct sentence about the picture shown. For Level 1, the verbs and modifiers are being targeted, and students are given 2-3 choices to make a selection from.
For Level 2, the student must choose the correct verbs, adjectives, and modifiers from 2-5 choices.
For Level 3, the student will choose the correct modifiers, verbs, and adjectives, but now there are 5 options to choose from.
You can always access the students stats from the home page. This is great for tracking progress!
I really like this app for several reasons…
- Real photographs for stimuli
- Progression of difficulty
- Data collection to monitor progress
- Simple & easy to use
- Stimulus appropriate for teens
- Use for many different goals
What I would love to see in the future…
- An indication of what word(s) is wrong when the student incorrect
Overall, this is a great app, that can be used for so much! Sentence Builder Teen is available in iTunes for $5.99.
![Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a crucial role in children's language development. One often overlooked but highly beneficial area to incorporate into speech therapy sessions is print knowledge. Understanding the importance of print knowledge can enhance therapy outcomes and foster literacy skills in children. I recently worked on a paper with some colleagues about the importance […]](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/ce/7f/bd/ce7fbd4a90a9683531d8b43d60ee2a68.jpg)

I wish I had a go to material for the older kids…they are a tough bunch!
Me too. I wish I had go to materials for my older kiddos. It has been hard to find materials for them.
Have plenty of older kiddos on my caseload who need to work on social skills, turntaking, topic maintenance, appropriate social behaviors—would love this for them! Rose (www.speechsnacks.com)
This looks great! I too struggle with age-appropriate materials for my 9-12 grade students…I have had to get pretty creative:)
I have primarily younger patients on my caseload. This area is challenging for me as I don’t have a lot of materials on hand.
I use sentences which I cut up so the students can put together. They can be rearranged & I cue them on this. Otherwise not too much out there for older kids. This app looks great!!!
I use materials from http://freelanguagestuff.com/ but would love to win this app
I use No Glamour Grammar with my older students.
This looks like a great app! I could use it with my upper elementary kids very easily. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Looks like a great app. Thanks for the giveaway.
Wonderful App!
I love the regular version of this app. Would love to use it with my older students as well!
Right now I’m using the original Sentence Builder with my older students, but an app geared for them would be fantastic. Another good tool (for those who have the motor skills) is post-it notes. I can write a word on each note, scramble them, and have my student rearrange to form appropriate sentences. I use them so much I’m actually looking to invest in some inexpensive blocks (to paint with chalkboard paint) or someone who will cut up a dry-erase board into squares for me so I can do the same thing with students who can’t manipulate post-its.
I do not have any “go to” materials for the older students. As others have noted, I wish I did! -Cassandra
Folks – I just released a teen version of ConversationBuilder and a teen version of Language Builder is coming! Kyle
I use Rainbow Sentences with my older students.
Absolutely nothing. This app would solve that problem for good.
I like using Sentence Builder already, I’m sure this one will be great also!
