Receptive and expressive Language skills

On the bottom right of the TV is switch with an “R” and an “E”. The “R” stands for receptive and the “E” stands for expressive. Moving the switch to the receptive position gives the student multiple choices, while moving the switch to the expressive position leaves the question open ended for the therapist, teacher or parent to analyze the response. The ability of this switch to be able to be changed throughout the game allows an easy way of providing scaffolding if a student is struggling too much at an expressive level by switching it to receptive, or a great way to add a challenge by changing it to expressive.

What are special educators saying?

Great app, but may be best for older kids that can read (as I had to do for this second grader). Not a big deal, but if you were looking for an app that required independence with the younger crowd, this app would not meet that need

This app is well thought out and engaging. The game show theme is versatile so it can be used with a variety of age ranges, great if you have students from different grade levels in a session. You can use it for individual therapy and with groups of up to 5. I was thrilled to see that the categories followed very closely with the format of the EET ( Expanding Expressions Tool ) so this app would be a great companion to that system if you use it in your room as well.

Once you get it right, you have the option of recording yourself repeating the sentence to practice speaking correctly. I LOVE this option
