Love it and List it Linky {Language Apps}

Today I’m joining Speech Room News and participating in another Love it and List it Linky Party! This month’s topic is sharing your favorite Language apps. I have to admit, I try to use my iPad as a treat but these apps are so good, they usually fit right in with what we are doing in speech. Here are my favorites:

1. Bluster!-free!

Bluster is an app that offers word analysis practice in several forms and on several levels. It can be used to target rhyming words, prefixes and suffixes, and other structural/phonetic similarities as well as usage categories such as adjectives and synonyms. This matching game allows for individual, team and competitive modes. And…can we say “free?” =)

2. Language Empires

Although this app comes with a more hefty price-tag ($24.99), Language Empires is my go-to app I use with my higher elementary grades and middle school students. It targets how, which and why questions, predictions, figurative language, sequencing, vocabulary and making inferences with over 400 questions. Players see visual and written scenarios followed by a question in the target area and several possible answers. Narration can be turned on or off to focus students on auditory or reading comprehension.

3. Jumbled Sentences 3-free!

Jumbled Sentences 3 is a great way to target syntax. Each level offers mixed-up words that create sentences to describe a given image. Once the sentence is unscrambled correctly, children receive a set amount of points and coins they can use in buy stickers for their sticker collection at the end of the level.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these fun apps! Head on over to Speech Room News to check out what others are sharing!
