Picture the Sentence HD Lite app review

Reviews

Introduction

Picture the Sentence HD Lite is an iPad and iPhone app teaching your child how to put together pictures to form a complete idea. This is a starting point to writing sentences, as it prepares your child for breaking pictures down into parts.

Put Together Ideas

Picture the Sentence HD Lite provides three pictures of ideas that your child must put together into a complete idea. One example would be an image of a boy, an image of an opening jar, and an image of a door. The complete image your child would select for the correct answer would be of a boy opening a door.

There are no words in this particular app, as children must learn to put together ideas before they are ready to read word sentences, or to write sentences independently. This app is specifically to help with speech, language, and auditory development, and as such the app breaks sentences down to the most basic level. You can select for pictures to remain on the screen, and you can also turn on the text if your child is ready for that level.

Text is Optional

Picture the Sentence HD Lite allows you to turn the text on or off. You must click New Sentence each time, and then the three images slowly appear on the screen. There is then a set time waiting period before your child selects the correct image from the options.

I set the difficulty on easy so that the images stay on the screen. You can select to have them not remain on the screen; however, for the purpose of the review and getting a good screen shot example I chose to have them remain. I also show you below the correct answer in the photo frame.

Final Thoughts

Picture the Sentence HD Lite is an iPad and iPhone app that helps students to learn language, work on speech, and put together complete thoughts from partial ideas. There are many kids who have difficulty getting from seeing a boy with a cookie, to the boy eats the cookie. Once an adult gets the concept, it is difficult for someone to break it down to better explain to a student. This app helps with the process to better instruct a student. I would also like to see a pause function in the future. If student’s feel in control enough to stop the game and think, then they can often perform better. Overall, this is a great teaching tool, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs extra practice putting ideas together.
