iPractice Verbs by Smarty Ears is a fun and easy app developed to help children learn and practice basic English verbs. iPractice Verbs was developed under the guidance of a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist to serve as a tool for children with language delays.
iPractice Verbs contains over 120 verbs in the present, present progressive, and past tense with corresponding high quality images and audio (totaling to almost 1000 stimuli). Practicing verbs has never been so easy or intuitive.
iPractice Verbs also allows for practice at different levels: word, phrase, and sentence levels with the flexibility to select which verbs are to be practiced. There are two modes on iPractice verbs: “Flashcards” and “Find it”.
The primary purpose of “Flashcards” is to practice learning the verbs at the word, phrase or sentence level. “Find it” on the other hand, is a multiple choice game for selecting corresponding images. When playing practice Verbs on Find it mode, children must select the correct corresponding image in order to advance to the next word/phrase/sentence. If the incorrect image is selected the choices are narrowed and the student is encouraged to “try again”; this way we maximize student success and learning. The “find it” activity was designed to help students practice the techniques of listening in a variety of situations (e.g., focusing attention, reflecting, interpreting, analyzing, responding to messages).

This app would help my son practice his verbs :)
This app would help us practice and use verbs!
This application would be a great tool to use in conjunction with other options for practicing verbs. I appreciate that there is a multiple choice option to provide to check understanding expressively as well. It is encouraging to see that the students are given the option to “try again” instead of being told they answered incorrectly. I believe that would help maintain motivation when using the application in the therapy room.

Another great app. I like to emphasize verbs when working with children with language delays. I like that this app has verbs in a variety of tenses. I could see using this not only for pure drill, but also as a spark — havingg children use the targeted ver in. Sentence.
I have so many students at my elementary school that could benefit from this app. My autistic caseload could reallly use this.
