Auditory Rhyming (AR)

Auditory Rhyming AR

  Recognition of rhyming is one of the first ways a child demonstrates phonological awareness,these skills are very important in reading and writing. This app gives the child 3 pictures to choose from, you can set it to inclusion (which words rhymes), exclusion (which doesn’t rhyme) or a mixture of both. The focus is very much on “auditory rhyming” as the words are spoken when the picture are touched, but the written word is not visible. The child can’t just memorize the rhyming words as the presentations of the rhymes are always different.

Hand Cue Sound Match (HCSM)

Hand Cue Sound Match HCSM

 The Speech-EZ hand cues are a core part of the Speech-EZ Apraxia program. We have been using these hand cues with my daughter (who has Apraxia) for several months now and it has been amazing to see how using the cues really helps her get the correct sound. This app features still photographs of the hand cues and the child has to pick which of three phonogram’s (letters or groups of letters) this represents. In the instruction section of the app it also describes how to make each hand cue, so you can learn the hand cues even if you do not own the full Speech-EZ system.
