Today I’m reviewing an app by Language Concepts called Learning Verbs that focuses on learning a set of specific verbs.
The app is very simple, which is one reason I love it for my little ones! Open up the app and you are immediately on the home page:
You can choose up to 22 verbs to target or…(and this is my favorite part), you can add your own photo. This would be great for a group of rowdy preschoolers to demonstrate verbs such as “jumping,” “spinning,” “marching,” etc.
I also like the options included. You can choose to turn off or on features such as text, audio and feedback, as well as how many cards to use as choices.
Once you are working on a verb, you will see a screen like this:
It’s super simple, but great for those little ones who don’t need a lot of distractions.
The one con I would note is that some of the pictures are stretched, making them look a little strange.
My friends at Language Concepts are generously giving one away! Enter the rafflecopter below and let me know how YOU target verbs for a chance to win one!
*Note: The developers of this app provided me with a free copy of this app in exchange for a review. The opinions are all mine though!
Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
I'd love for you to join my newsletter family so that I can start sending weekly encouragement as well as access to an entire library of free resources like this Student Self-Progress Report Sheet!

February 16, 2016 at 7:43 pmI frequently use photo cards to teach verbs, but as we all know, your students think everything’s better if you use technology!
Rachel says
February 16, 2016 at 7:46 pmI use photos of actions, shared book reading to identify actions and following direction activities to target action verbs!

February 16, 2016 at 10:10 pmWe take pictures of others doing things and talk about them with a focus on verbs. We do activities and crafts talking about what we are doing along the way. I find many of my students can label many things with nouns but have few verbs!

Karrie Molina says
February 16, 2016 at 10:43 pmI use very old cards I inherited from a retired speechie . Sometimes you get so used to things you forget there are newer and cooler things out there like this app!

February 16, 2016 at 11:53 pmI use photo actions in picture description tasks. I also use the EET blue-do with older kids to generate as many possible functions/actions.

February 17, 2016 at 2:57 amI use picture cards and books to target verbs! An app sounds great to target them because the i-Pad always keeps my students interested! 🙂
Carol says
February 17, 2016 at 3:38 amI have some really old Sesame Street match up cards (picture with the word) that I like to use with little ones.
Reni says
February 17, 2016 at 4:07 amI love to make various objects act out the actions. Today our trucks drank, ate, napped and danced!
Valerie says
February 17, 2016 at 10:14 amI have saved a lot of cards (birthday, Christmas) over the years. I have the kids talk about what they see on the cards to elicit verbs.

Kristine says
February 17, 2016 at 4:18 pmI use photo cards and apps such as Milo Verbs. I also have students act out the verbs during games such as Simon Says.
Judy Hale says
February 17, 2016 at 11:32 pmFor targeting apps, I often use books, picture cards, and just good old fashioned acting it out!
Mindy says
February 18, 2016 at 7:30 pmI just did a blog post on one way I target verbs! 🙂

February 19, 2016 at 2:50 pmThis looks so cool. I’d love to try it with my MD populations.
Michelle says
February 19, 2016 at 3:12 pmI’m always using photo cards, apps, and of course acting it out to teach verbs!

February 21, 2016 at 5:14 amLove! Could use this in my graduate in-house practicum with both my children and adult clients!
Cassandra S. says
February 22, 2016 at 5:46 pmWhen possible, I like to act them out/or talk about verbs as we are doing them in therapy. Also through books. There are a couple of apps from Hamaguichi Apps that I also like to use. Thanks for the review and giveaway!
Wendy P says
February 22, 2016 at 8:05 pmI use photos or line drawings when I can, supplemented with classroom activities (things the kids are already doing). With the kids who don’t quite get verb vocabulary through pictures yet and we act them out, observe what other kids in the class are doing.
Jess says
