We are seriously in love with our iPad! There are so many great apps out there, one of which is Rainbow Sentences from Mobile Education App. We had the opportunity to review this app over the last month to help solidify sentence structure.
Rainbow Sentences, which is for the iPad only, is designed to help students improve their ability to construct grammatically correct sentences by using color coded visual cues. The who, what, where, and why parts of sentences are color coded to help students recognize and understand how combinations of these parts create basic sentence structure.
~from the website
Rainbow Sentences has 3 levels of play learning with 3 degrees of difficulty in each level. Line Color Coding~ The lines above the picture story are color-coded with blue for the subject and red for the predicate, etc. Word Color Coding~ words are color coded to match the lines above for the correct part of speech. Word Grouping~ words are moved to the lines as a grouping of the part of speech rather than individual words.
FEATURES
- 165 images to create sentence from

We have really enjoyed using Rainbow Sentences by Mobile Education Apps and would recommend it for a must have iPad educational app. I used this review with Mikayla (9) and Montana (5) and I have found the girls playing this game outside of school hours. I am not one to complain about that! Montana struggled a little bit at first but once I figured out the settings were not set right for her, she was able to play and figure out the words and sentences on her own.
