StoryBuilder for iPad

Once again a wonderful app! Very easy to use and great for scaffolding story telling. Love it!

I downloaded this app as my daughter (9) has auditory processing issues and some of the web reviews mentioned it could be helpful. She loves it! I'm not sure if it is helpful but she has totally enjoyed making the stories and hearing her voice recorded in the playbacks. Her brother (11) has also had fun with sound effects in the background and making stories of his own. Really worthwhile for children of all ages and ability levels. Would be good if when you emailed the story it was a video so you got the verbal and picture stimuli. Also if you could import your own pictures and narrate them, would be a great extension. Thank you dear developer!

Really enjoy using this app. It is brilliant with the kids and getting them to plan their responses. Inferencing levels are good. The voice is a bit strange so I usually have to repeat the question, but otherwise it is fabulous. Highly recommend.

A lovely app for children. There are many pictures to pick from. Depending on the level you chose, there are 4-7 questions (which are read to you) with each picture. Your child records each answer individually. This then creates a verbal story of 4-7 sentences which is saved. StoryBuilder is an easy, fun and education app for children to use.

Have trialled this with several of my students they absolutely love the ease that they can actually write a story. The fact that this App alows them to take a chance when they are working out what they want to say and it provides the visuals and the verbal prompts to make inferences and predict what is happenning in a picture and how to start their sentence is wonderful. I would recomend this App to anybody with children but especially for those with children who have disabilities or learning difficulties. This App gives them the opportunity to practice what they want to say until they feel confident enough to want to record their very own story. It also gives them the opportunity to work on theadjectives and adverbs that make stories great as they gain further skills in this area. Well done. from A4CWSN

I am a special education teacher and use this app with my primary class. My students enjoy using it and I believe with continued use will make educational progress. It is fantastic for improving story building skills and communication. This app is worth buying. I have no hesitation in recommending it to others!

I am a mum of a special needs child, work in a special school setting, and have 3 boys under 11 attending main stream. This program is great for ALL levels and abilities. A great way to start writing their own stories. Great app!

I am a mum of a child with special needs. I have found this app to be a very clever and engaging way for children to stretch their story building skills, especially if they have sensory processing disorders or ASD. I love the way their recorded answers are stitched together and played back, as it is a very non confronting way for the child to learn what is expected of them. This app will become a very valuable tool for educators, parents and therapists alike I think. I look forward to seeing what happens next in the exciting Story Builder! journey. Thank you for the opportunity to review your quality app.

My two young boys (an 8yo with an intellectual and a physical disability and a 6yo mainstraim) both enjoy this App! Both love hearing their own recorded voices back and laughing at each other's stories. There is a great variety of Picture story starters, and the prompts are very helpful to my 8yo in getting his ideas out of his head, and to organise his thoughts into a story structure. It could be improved by opening on the Play screen rather than the Settings screen.

This is a very user friendly APP that assists students in developing their skills with regards to writing a story. The combination of visual and verbal cues are brilliant and the APP allows the student to record their own voice and become an author in their own right. They can then replay their story, which is fantastic as it allows them to gain a greater sense of appreciation and understanding of the whole process of writing a story. They develop a greater sense of imagination, use a broader vocabulary with plenty of adjectivies and create sentences that have more purpose. A really well planned and designed APP. Well done!
