App Description

****My students LOVE this app! They are motivated to work hard during the drill portion of the app so they can participate in the carnival games. This app is truly a hit with all age groups! (Appabled)****

The Articulation Carnival app is a comprehensive and flexible articulation program to practice pronunciation of ALL English phonemes at the word, phrase, and sentence levels.

The app includes thousands of photos and prerecorded audio stimuli. It allows speech therapists to edit targeted words and to add their own photos and audio recordings.

The Articulation Carnival app was developed using the latest app technologies, making it the most fun articulation app on the market. Kids will be motivated to drill different speech sounds, since they will be rewarded with four different carnival games:

-Balloon Darts
-Basketball
-Spray Ducks
-Strength Hammer
