I’ve got another Smarty Ears app review and giveaway for you guys this week!! Woohoo! This one is iPractice Verbs, which is designed to help students with verb tense in past, present, and future forms, at the word, phrase, and sentence level. 
Here on the main menu you can access Support, More Apps, Report Center, and Start Practice. Check out Support for information about the app, links to Smarty Ears’ support, video tutorials, back up and restore, and Smarty Ears’ social media pages. Let’s get started!
Adding players is super easy, just add their name and a picture, which you can choose from your photos or included avatars. As with other Smarty Ears’ apps, you can also import players from the Therapy Report Center.
Once you add your players, you can change the Settings to meet your needs. You can choose whether to have the app buzz or remove the target when a child chooses an incorrect error. The app allows you to toggle on/off the text display and tracking buttons. You can also modify the database of verbs targeted by selecting/unselecting the words included in the app.
iPractice Verbs includes two activities, Flashcards and Find It. Basically, Flashcards target expressive language and Find It targets receptive skills.
Here you are prompted to select/deselect the target verbs.
With Flashcards, the student is presented with one picture of the targeted verb. You can toggle between word, phrase, and sentence levels, as well as changing the verb’s tense, on the left side of the page.
If you have selected it in settings, the text will be displayed on the screen as well. You can have your students record themselves as well by hitting the microphone in the upper right corner of the picture! You will mark their answer correct, approximate, or incorrect with the buttons in the lower right corner.
If you choose Find It, students will be presented with four pictures and a verbal prompt for the level you have chosen. You will target one tense, at the word, phrase, or sentence level.
If you choose the right answer, the large version of that picture comes on the screen for a few seconds, which allows your student to practice the verb. 
Students earn stars for correct answers, which get them Stickers with these fun cards.
All of the student’s stickers are stored on their profile so they can check their progress.
Data is kept for each student as well! It is very detailed with the activity for each session, but also gives an overall accuracy.
Something that I LOVE that iPractice Verbs includes in certificates for the different levels that students can master!
How cool is that? You can print those off for your students to take home!
And double bonus…HOMEWORK! Love this feature!
Overall, I love iPractice Verbs! It is a very functional app for me, I work on this with my students ALL. THE. TIME. I love that I can use multiple players since I am always working in groups, and the homework feature is so helpful. You can find iPractice Verbs in the iTunes Store for $4.99 at the time of this review…BUT
I have TWO copies to giveaway! WOOHOOO! Enter via the Rafflecopter below 🙂

I would love to use this with my speech students!
Most of caseload could benefit from this app.
What a fun and creative way to target verbs!
It would be useful for more than 1 student at different levels- genius!!
This looks quick and easy to use in therapy!
My hearing impaired kids need lots of practice with verb tenses. This app would be great!
I’d love to use this with my kids! Homework option is fab!
I would use this app to engage my self contained academics classes. They’re my toughest crowd and need the most language support! I know they’d love it!
My students would love a new and different approach to working on irregular past tense verbs (I would too)! Thank you for the review and a chance to win!
I think this would be so helpful for the tidy division of regulars and irregulars and I love the homework print outs!
Love those apps for extra practice and review!
This app would be so wonderful for several students on my caseload!! Irregular verbs are always a tough one!!!
I would love to use this with my students!
I have a large caseload of students – and many of them could really benefit from this app!
I use your materials all the time!! I would love this app for my students. I have a number of ELL students,as well as others, who could greatly benefit from it!!
This would be great for so many of my students!
This would be a great “treat” for my students
Would love to use this with my higher level preschoolers.
All but three of my students are working on this skill. All of them are in groups, so this would be great for motivation and practice. I don’t normally use apps with groups as it can be rather frustrating, but this looks like it would actually work nicely in small groups.
This would be awesome to use in speech therapy at the JD McCarty Center (a non-profit hospital for kids with special needs…. so little-to-no budget for apps).
I feel that this app would be useful p may of my low functional students to mAke learning more interactive.
This would make a great addition to my Verbs collections!
I like the ability to customize what you are working on and the data features. Some follow up homework is great to keep parents informed and to increase opportunities for practice!
Can’t wait to use this with my language, Autistic, and discourse level artic kiddos:)
Always need great apps for school aged kids!
I have several kiddos on my caseload who could benefit from this app – from working on learning verbs (vocab) to those working on tenses (grammar).
