StoryBuilder for iPad

I am an SLP in an urban school. I was using this app today and realized with much dismay that there are NO people of color in any of the pictures. The same is true in your Story Builder app which has cartoon drawings. This just downgraded my opinion of the appropriateness of this activity for my students.

This app is really good for getting children to think outside the box and complete thoughts. It is especially good for children who have autism/Asperger's

Amazing app to encourage creative writing and story telling. The record feature enabling the user to record their own voice and play it back is a huge benefit. This app is a favorite in this household! Well done mobile education!

As an elementary school English as a second language teacher, I am making great use of Story Builder. I use it in the setting where the students are guided through a series of open ended questions supported by colorful pictures that evoke a story. Students record their answers. What comes out is a recording of the student telling a story that can be archived as a language sample and used to inform my instruction. Very cool software!

Love it! great app!! It has done wonders for my two kids. One thing though...how about a French or Spanish version? I, for one, would jump at the opportunity to use that same approach to improve my kids' French!

This is a great tool! My daughter loves telling stories but struggles with putting it all together: writing them in pararaph form. Book reports are a struggle. I know that as we work more with this app, she'll learn this skill in no time. She has receptive language delay and auditory processing disorder. Hearing the story in her own voice is amazing. It's a great tool to help young children learn how to put multiple sentences together to form their own story. And this app is so affordable, which makes it all the more wonderful! Thank you!

I love this app! There are so many possiblilities with it. Stories can be easily created by students who have difficulty writing or who are just learning what it takes to write a story. I used this with my sped class and will be using it with my kindergarten kids this year! It is important for kids to be able to tell a story before they physically can write one..

This app allows you to choose 3 difficulty levels and the child can use their own voice to record the answer. It will show a picture and you answer "what are they doing" or "what were they doing before the picture". Because you only record an answer and there isnt necessarily a right or wrong answer I believe parent or teacher participation would be most beneficial.

Our SLP suggested the "builder" series and they have been great for our 6 yr old who has some struggles with writing. This app is engaging and can keep his interest longer than most of his LA workbooks. When he has had it with his 1st grade workbooks, I can always get him to work on the iPad for a little while longer. Thank you!

You have an awesome idea here and each time you come out with a new app you make it better. The idea of letting the child record their voice and play it back cements the structure of the sentences in their heads and yet does this in a fun and easy way so they don't lose interest. I've seen a lot of apps but i have to say yours just hit the top for me. Thank you. My children and the neighborhood children i'm helping with homework love your apps.
