{Review} iPractice Verbs

Here's yet another great app from Smarty Ears!  iPractice Verbs allows children to practice present tense verbs, present progressive verbs, regular past tense verbs, and irregular past tense verbs at the word, phrase, and sentence levels.


Before you get started, I highly recommend watching the tutorial.  It only takes a few minutes and teaches you valuable features of the app.


Here you can adjust the settings and add a new player.


By clicking on "modify database", you can choose regular or irregular verbs to work on and/or choose the individual verbs that you would like to target.


Then you're all set to add your players.


You can choose between flashcards and "find it" which includes locating a specific picture to match a verb in a field of four pictures.


Next, it's time to choose the verb tense and determine if you'd like to work on the verb at the word, phrase, or sentence level.


Here is an example of the flashcard option.  This part of the app provides basic drilling practice.


Here is the "find it" option where students must determine which picture best matches the sentence provided.


Data collection is a snap because the app takes care of it for you!


The app also provides 16 different verb tense homework sheets that can be sent home with the child.


What I love about this app:
* It provides homework!  Just print out the homework for the student and wa-la!
* You can select the individual words that you'd like to target, so you can include specific words that you've been working on with the student or new ones that you'd like to introduce.
* It targets present tense verbs, present progressive verbs, regular past tense verbs, and irregular past tense verbs at the word, phrase, and sentence levels, which allows for differentiation and a lot of practice no matter what level the child is at.

  1. Looks like a great app. The photo looks awfully young for middle school, but then the activities look like they could be used with older kids. What do you think?

  2. The photos are definitely geared for younger students, but it wouldn't hurt to try it out with older students too! :)
