Luke over at Home Speech Home created one of my favorite go-to apps in , so I'm very excited to get a chance to review a newer app of his, Multi-syllabic Word Party!
This app is designed for students who are in PK to grade 3, and aimed at improving their phonological awareness skills.
Multi-syllabic Word Party includes 4 different games to target two, three, four, and five syllable words. Before beginning each game, you choose the number of syllables to target.
The first game is Tap Tap. The words are paired with pictures and each syllable is a different color, paired with a different button. Students tap the circle, say the syllable, and then say the entire word. After producing each word, praise is given.
The next game is Outline, where students match a picture to it's shape, then practice saying each syllable.
Up next is Remember, which is a memory style game. The pictures are shown for a few seconds and then flipped over, students must remember where the matches are. Once they find a match, they practice the syllables and word. You can choose the number of cards used 8, 12, or 18.
The last game is Say & Slice, which was probably my students favorite game! You use your finger to slide across the syllables and the letters fall off the word. You then drag each syllable back up to lock them into place.
Here's what I love:
- LOTS of different syllable practice with four different games
- Real pictures paired with words in 3 of 4 games
- Color coded syllables
- Multi sensory to engage different learning styles
- Available on iPad AND iPhone
Here's what I would like to see:
- The option to work on more than one number of syllables at a time (i.e. you can't choose to do both 2 and 3 syllable words in one game)
- Settings to change the audio and color coding, to adjust difficulty levels for students on different levels.
Overall, I think this app is a great tool if you need to work on phonological awareness! You can currently find it on iTunes for $3.99 …

![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.

This looks like an amazing app!! So many of my kids would love this! 🙂
I would use this to work on phonological awareness and syllibication skills! Looks great!
I have a lot of students that struggle with multisyllabic words and need an extra boost for their phonological awareness skills! This would be great to use with them!
With my population, there is always a multisyllable word goal on the IEP! Thanks for the giveaway! =)
I could use this app with so many kids on my caseload right now. My kiddos love using the iPad and this would be a great addition to my app library.
I would use this with some of my students who struggle with multiple sounds/intelligibility.
I’d love to use this with my kindergarten students. I do in the classroom lessons in whole group and this would be a good follow up to some of the lessons I do.
I would use this app with my preschools who have this goal.
I would love to use this app! I have tons of phonological awareness kids right now, so this would be perfect – looks great!
I would love to have more materials for targeting multi-syllable words! I’ve found very few things that make targeting multi-syllable words fun, so this looks like a wonderful app!
I have several students whose speech ‘breaks down’ when the words get longer. Think this would be another ‘tool’ to make it visual, auditory, and more fun for them to practice.
I have a few kids who work on multisyllabic words. This app would be a fun way to target these words.
Always working on this with kiddos, would be a great addition.
This looks great!
This app would be great with apraxic kids, phono kids, and for those kids who just need more work generalizing sounds.
I am always looking for creative and fun ways to work on multisyllabic words. I have a wide variety of students who need help identifying parts of words and producing multisyllabic words.
This app would be great for my K – 2 population! I always have multi syllabic word goals on the IEP!
This app looks awesome! So much more engaging to tap out on the iPad.
Looks like a great app and I have some littles really struggling with 2-3 syllable words. The pairing with real life pictures would be perfect for them!
Just what I have been searching for!
