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!

I would use this app to work on prepositions (basic concepts) with the many students who have this as a goal.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look very clear and simple. Clear pictures are great for students with various other challenges.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
