{Review} Preposition Remix App + Giveaway

Disclaimer: A copy of this app was provided to me; however, the opinions expressed are solely my own.

Time for another app review and giveaway - one of my favorite combinations! Be sure to enter the giveaway after reading my review!

Preposition Remix is an app by Smarty Ears that sells for $9.99 in the App Store. It is a single player app that targets 20 different prepositions.

You can customize it in the settings to only target certain ones, which is a great feature. Some of the prepositions include ones that I've found myself targeting on a regular basis, such as: above, behind, under, in front of, etc.


You can choose to have the written cue on the bottom or not:


Some of the prepositions are less common, such as: furthest, closest to, etc. 


When the student selects the correct choice, they get an audio and visual reward, which is very motivating to my students:


What I Liked:
-ability to customize and target just what you need
-pictures are clear
-ability to target less common prepositions like further, closest to, etc.

What I Would Love To See:
-the ability to make it multiplayer since I work with many groups
-an expressive part where students could name the preposition once they've mastered the receptive aspect


Overall, this is a fantastic app that will get your students excited about practicing prepositions!

  1. I would use this app to work on prepositions (basic concepts) with the many students who have this as a goal.

  2. The pictures look very clear and simple. Clear pictures are great for students with various other challenges.

  3. I work in Early Intervention where we're teaching a lot of these basic concepts, and reinforcing them with pretty much everyone else. We've also got a lot of ELLs in our groups and classrooms, so anything that helps them get a handle on English is always welcome. Occasionally, I find myself teaching bits and pieces of the basic concepts to parents or older siblings too, regardless of primary language spoken!

  4. I work in Early Intervention, so I'm teaching basic concepts to a lot of my kids. This would also be a fun app for reinforcing it with all my other kids. It would also be nice for working with our ELL students - anything that helps them get a handle on learning English is welcome! I even find myself teaching bits and pieces of the basic concepts with adults & older siblings, regardless of primary language spoken!
