Fun With Directions vs Syntax City Usage & Stats

Open a door and see what’s behind it. Give the boy something to eat. He’ll even say “Thanks!” Color a cat with the help of the magic crayon! Push a button and watch the elevator door open-what could be inside? **Check out a demo of this app on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXCe1fETCnc Fun with Directions is for the iPHONE and is a ground-breaking app, designed to provide a fun and engaging way to practice listening, following directions, colors, spatial concepts, auditory memory and auditory processing. From the simplest of directions (“Touch the cat”) to the more complex (“With your orange crayon, color the large one that is a furry pet and likes to chase mice”) your child can grow and learn with this game over time. Colorful, vivid art and animations against a white background combine to create a complete game experience without visual clutter. Sound effects and surprises keep the game engaging! This app is a great choice for a toddler/preschooler, or any young child who would like to practice listening to or reading directions! Included are ten concepts: Give, touch, open, close, top, middle, bottom, push, color, erase. Features include settings for text on/off, (to practice reading vs. listening) selecting specific concepts, and the desired level of play: easy, intermediate, and advanced. An added bonus that is included in this app is the optional “Superstar Direction” which allows additional practice for remembering (“What did you have to do?”) but also expressive language. The child’s response is recorded and played back. Superstar Directions are surprise questions that pop up at random times, but can easily be turned off if desired.

Syntax City

Welcome to Syntax City! As the mayor of this great city, it is only fair of me to warn you: We take our syntax very seriously around here. Back when our city was founded, we wanted to create a utopia where all verbs would agree with their subjects, all actions would be spoken with the right tense, and all people lived peacefully with the proper pronouns. I have a feeling you’re really going to love it here. Please grab an ID badge because as soon as you’re here, this place will become the perfect town. Syntax City is a state-of-the-art application that targets a variety of grammatical elements in fun and engaging ways for elementary and middle school children. The theme sets the tone for children visiting a variety of places within our town. Each location within the city targets a different set of goals: -Gym: Do/Does -Beach: Third person singular agreement -Bakery: Was/Were -Ski Resort: He/ She -Farm: Past tense verb agreement -Grocery: Has/Have -Park: Is/Are -Zoo: Regular and Irregular Plurals Each location contains 50 targets, adding up to a total of 400 targets within 8 different activities. Each target phrase is also spoken aloud by highly talented voice-over professionals. Animations on each location make the application highly motivating for children to play while learning. The application supports multiplayers! Each one of the five players is able to select an avatar and visit one or multiple locations within the city. Collect treasures from each location: Syntax City has a very exciting treasure system. Each player collects a treasure based on the number of consecutive correct answers. The treasures are placed under each child’s profile. Data tracking: As with all other Smarty Ears apps, Syntax City offers extremely detailed and visually stunning data collection. A set of graphs provides visual information on children’s skills and their progress toward mastery of specific goals. The data can be emailed, printed, or shared to other compatible applications. Features: -Targets receptive and expressive skills -400 target questions -8 different goals -8 different locations -Tracks data for each student -Share results via email, print, open in… -Built-in voice recording capabilities -Results are presented in graph or text format -Multiplayer capabilities -Each student can work on same location/goals in different levels
