Description

****My students LOVE this app! They are motivated to work hard during the drill portion of the app so they can participate in the carnival games. This app is truly a hit with all age groups! (Appabled)****

The Articulation Carnival app is a comprehensive and flexible articulation program to practice pronunciation of ALL English phonemes at the word, phrase, and sentence levels.

The app includes thousands of photos and prerecorded audio stimuli. It allows speech therapists to edit targeted words and to add their own photos and audio recordings.

The Articulation Carnival app was developed using the latest app technologies, making it the most fun articulation app on the market. Kids will be motivated to drill different speech sounds, since they will be rewarded with four different carnival games:

-Balloon Darts
-Basketball
-Spray Ducks
-Strength Hammer

Articulation Carnival offers the following phonemes:

•bilabial phonemes: p-/p/, b-/b/, m-/m/ (initial, medial, and final positions of words; twenty pictures per phoneme and per position at the word, unique phrase, and sentence level);

•lingual-alveolar phonemes: t-/t/, d-/d/, s-/s/, z-/z/, n-/n/, l-/l/ (initial and medial positions of words; twenty pictures per phoneme and per position at the word, unique phrase, and sentence level);

•linguavelar phonemes: k-/k/, g-/g/; glottal phonemes: h-/h/ (all the phonemes in the initial, medial, and final positions of words except for h-/h/ [initial position of words]; twenty pictures per phoneme and per position at the word, unique phrase, and sentence level);

Additional phonemes:

Suggestion

I use this app with a lot of my kids, but the games make no sense. The only one with a timer is the basketball game. I like that the duck hunt and dart game give prizes, but there is no timer and the games will not automatically shut down like the basketball game does. And the darts go in random directions! As for the hammer game, the metals appear randomly and don't accumulate like the prizes or the basketball count. And it doesn't have a timer or shut down automatically. Could you please tweak the games so they are more appealing to kids?

Flashcards

Articulation Carnival is a great application for working on articulation drills. Therapists can select multiple phonemes, specific placement in the words, and if the target is to be practiced at the word, phrase, or sentence level. The downside I found to this app was the inability to mix targets of different phonemes or locations within a word. Data tracking is easy with correct, approximations, and incorrect markers, as well as fun carnival themed games earned after so many correct words. There is also a recording feature within the app. Settings allow for customization of the app.

Bummer

I'm pretty bummed I spent over $20 on this app. The Articulation work part is great but I bought it because I had hopes it would have games to motivate the kids. I already own Articulation Station. The games are "boring". My kids of all ages don't like them (preschool - 3rd Grade). They don't make a lot of sense. When throwing darts you can't actually aim. It flies off into nowhere. Feeling very disappointed😕
