Word Balloons allows your students to practice word recognition and reading skills while having fun. The 500 words used in this app make up 80% of spoken and written everyday English. This means lots of great exposure!
To use this app, students read the word at the bottom of the screen. He or she then has to find the balloon that has the same word on it. Once you touch the correct balloon, it disappears and a new word appears at the bottom of the screen. This app really is a lot of fun. My husband was watching me play over my shoulder and couldn't resist playing along. We ended up having a friendly competition!
This app is ideal for students working on reading and writing skills. This will really help students with sight words and spelling as well. Students can easily play independently or compete with his or her peers. I can see this being a hit in my therapy room! Have your students read the words they find out loud and make it an articulation therapy tool, too!
It would be great to target vocabulary and articulation. They could work on sentence formulation using the given word. (Valerie)
ReplyDeleteI would use this in speech to target reading, vocabulary and artic skills! Thankyou for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI would use this with my preschoolers to target sight words or perhaps some articulation skills. For older students it would be great for reading and sentence formulation.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use this app to target vocabulary and articulation skills!
