Super app!
I love the flexibility of this app with such a variety of categories for the littles I work with each day! I have used the free categories, but need to expand as my little people are moving forward consistently. I, too, like others have stated, begin by teaching with the flash cards and moving up slowly so success is always in their favor. Thank you so much!

Another great app by Beemoo, LLC !! This app provides a FREE option to utilize only a few out of the 28 categories. That is not enough!!!! In the purchased version you are able to use all 28 categories, but if this doesn’t convince you DEFINITELY check out the free one for yourself Yet again another app that engages my students in a motivating and fun way. It provides multiple ways to use the target items within each category to increase vocabulary knowledge. The technicality of the application is awesome. You are able to choose among categories and combine categories together in formats like a sorting, find it, which does not, belong?, memory match, and flashcards. There are no bugs so it makes the app easy to use, just like the articulation bundle they have in the App Store. This makes everything 100% more enjoyable as technological difficulties during this time can add lots of extra stress in our day to days… something I experienced with other speech apps (i.e., they tend to close out/ freeze on me during the day). How I use the 28 Categories App: I begin with the flash cards to introduce categories. We go through each item and describe (i.e., Category-Function-Attributes). I then combine 2 categories at first (and increase as we progress) within games to assess my student’s knowledge. Easy planning and the students continue asking to play! It would be awesome if we were able to add our own categories and submit them for others to download, but regardless this was a STEAL of saving my time wisely. Most importantly, it has been a great way to increase categorical knowledge as it provides clear-cut ways for students to organize a schema in the multiple opportunities practicing the vocabulary taught.
