App Review - Sentence Builder

Sentence Builder is an app that costs $4.99, but you sure get a lot of interaction out of it and can serve multiple uses.

The general idea is that you will be given a picture and from that picture you must put the words given to you in the correct order to make a sentence reflecting the picture. If there are three boys, some of the words choices would be two and three, which causes the student to think about the scenario and apply deeper thinking.

This can be great for students in elementary school to help students build sentences and interpret scenes. An additional idea could be for students that are just beginning to learn the language. (They have additional language apps that do the same ideas.) English Language Learners will enjoy the simplicity of the app, while using pictures to make sense of the words given to them. This app can provide a lot of problem solving strategies to help these students grow in their knowledge of the language. Take a look, save on a wish list and wait for a sale, but this app provides a lot more than the money it asks.

The difficulty can change to challenge students.
