App Description

Sentence Workout was created by a certified speech and language pathologist for students ages 6 and up to practice sentence structures in both oral and written forms.

This is another app from the family of workouts developed by Virtual Speech Center Inc.—this time with a soccer theme.

Children are welcomed by the soccer coach who encourages them to work hard. Children earn a soccer ball for each correct response, and when they accumulate enough balls, they can play a soccer game.

The two activity types included in Sentence Workout are "say it" and "build your sentence."

1.In the "say it" activity, students practice sentence structure by answering questions orally. Students can audio record their responses and compare them with the native productions.

2.In the "build your sentence" activity, students practice written sentence structure by manipulating sentence parts while they are receiving auditory feedback. Children simply drag and drop different scrambled parts of the sentence into correct boxes to make a complete and grammatically correct sentence. They can then listen to their sentences and correct them as needed.

This engaging and colorful app allows children to practice over 350 sentences with 37 different sentence structures: (Each sentence type includes 10 pages.)
Sentence Workout is easy to navigate and allows users to employ several tools that enable them to perform the following tasks:

- Enter multiple students
- Change settings
- Score correct and incorrect responses
- Select auto-scoring
- Select alternate counts for multiple students
- Enable or disable rewards (the soccer game)
