He’s done it again! Erik X. Raj has created a second articulation app. To see a review of his first, Multiple Choice Articulation, click HERE.
In a nutshell, the I Dare You Articulation app provides specific scenarios that guide students to practice their sounds while in conversation. This app provides questions targeting the following sounds: /s,z,r,l,sh,ch,th/.
Once you choose the sound, you are able to select the position of the sound you are targeting (initial, medial, or final).
Students respond using their sound in conversation and acting out the scenario.
Why I like I Dare You Articulation:
1. It is difficult to find activities to work on sounds in conversation. This app provides tons of questions that guide the conversation in a way I know I’ll get a lot of responses from my students.
2. The kids think it’s hilarious! Getting kids up and moving makes working on articulation so much more fun. The questions are fun and are designed stretch their imaginations.
3. I use it for multiple different goals. During a group, this app is great because I can work on articulation, grammar, answering questions AND social role playing at the same time.
Some things that would make it even better!
1. An option to record student’s responses would be great to provide feedback.
2. A word of caution-your shier students may be reluctant to participate. I had a few of these.
This is an overall wonderful app that is super fun to use with students. It retails for only $4.99. The creator of this app (Erik X. Raj) is a speech therapist himself and has generously offered to give one I Dare You Articulation app away! Please enter via Rafflecopter by May 20th.
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!
