Sneak Preview… Our Next App
Today I thought I’d give you a sneak preview of our next app… Conversation Planner!
Conversation Planner teaches a step-by-step method to prepare for any conversation or social situation. Kids learn to think about who they are talking to, what that person will expect, when to know the person is ready for the conversation, etc. Conversation Planner gives your child the tools to complete successful conversations.
Conversation Planner provides: – A step-by-step introduction to all the key components of a conversation: how to start, how to finish, how to repair conversation problems, how to know your talking partner is ready, etc.
– A focus on perspective-taking. Learners identify the conversation goals for themselves, their talking partners as well as the expectations of other people around them.
– Students learn and practice their skills using more than 150 real-world, age-appropriate scenarios.
– Students progress only when mastery of the current skill is demonstrated.
– ‘At a glance’ reporting shows you instantly how your learner is progressing.
– The fun Reward Center motivates even hesitant learners.
Most exciting, this app offers independent AND therapist mode. In independent mode, answers are displayed and the learner taps the correct answer.
In therapist mode, no answers are displayed. For each question, the student answers orally and the therapist identifies whether the learner’s oral answer was correct or incorrect. Both modes earn coins for the Reward Center.
We’re excited about this new app as kids who struggle with reading comprehension often need support with social skills too.
We haven’t got a release date yet, but you can expect it in May!! Make sure you are on our mailing list to hear when we release promo codes during the launch!
How to Improve Reading Fluency for Better Comprehension
Reading fluency is SO important!
If your child’s reading isn’t fluent, you can’t expect comprehension. Your child will be too busy decoding and pronouncing the words to even think about meaning!!
Our fluency app allows you to help your child reach the reading fluency they need for their grade level (up to mid Grade 5!)
Here’s some more handy advice for improving reading fluency. The more ways you target a skill, the quicker you will see improvement!
