Elizabeth and I were fortunate enough to be sent some more games by Orchard Toys to review. We love these games and you can see our previous reviews of Pigs in Pants, Slug in a Jug and Dominoes here. I travel around to all my clients, so my resources tend to get a little battered […]
A couple of months ago, this game caught my eye in the Early Learning Centre, and I thought it looked good for language work. I managed to get it cheaply with multiple half-term offers, and most of the kids I work with (and my own daughter) love it so I thought I’d tell you all […]
I have written before about my love of Orchard Toys. You can read my post about their fantastic dominoes here. I now have quite a collection, but was thrilled when Orchard Toys asked me to review one of their new games – Pigs in Pants. I was sent a free copy to review. Pigs in […]
Helen noticed that Jenna Rayburn had started a linky for things she uses in therapy. This time the theme is “games I love”. So I thought I would join in. I don’t know if mine will be any different coming from England? I do have to say that like Jenna I love headbandz! One Stacking […]
Helen and I have been given a free copy of SpeakcoloursHD and Speech Cards from the kind people at RWH Technology to review. I’m going to talk about SpeakcoloursHD and Helen will post soon about the Speech Cards app. This app is designed for increasing vocabulary skills, phrase length and receptive and expressive language. I […]
A few weeks ago, Elizabeth reviewed the Minimal Pairs app from Therapy Box. You can see her review here. Today I’m going to review another of their apps – Sort It Out. I was given a free copy of this app to review but the views contained here are all my own. The first thing […]
I do a lot of work with junior age children (age 7-11 for anyone not in the UK) with comprehension and expressive language problems. It’s always a challenge to find materials at the right level and targeting the right skills. I find that the way things look at this age is really important – the […]
Yes, we have free apps to give away this week! Rather excitingly, Helen saw that Toca Boca were asking for bloggers to review their apps and were also giving free copies for a giveaway. Helen and I each received one free app for writing the blog and a further 4 to giveaway. We have been […]
I purchased my iPad last year “for work” and I love it and the children I work with love it. It rarely leaves my side. I don’t think it can replace real objects/ interactions and indeed it shouldn’t; but it is a useful addition to any therapy kit. Both Helen and I are trying to […]
Myfirstapp make a great range of apps for younger children. They are given an age rating and graded in nice small steps. The apps are free to install and you normally get two playable levels with the download. You would then need to purchase the rest of levels-£1.49 for another 10 levels. I find […]
