April Favorite Apps Featuring Bluebee Pals

 Listening Power Grades K-3 HD by Hamaguchi Apps for Speech, Language & Auditory Power Grades K-3 is one of our favorite apps to use with our Bluebee Pals in speech therapy!  It is so much fun to work on language and listening skills with a Bluebee learning partner. There are 4 main areas of focus in this educational app:  Listening for Meaning, Listening for Grammar, Listening for Word Memory, and Listening for Stories. 

Select your difficulty level and get your listening ears ready.  Your Bluebee Pal will read the questions out loud, and you will listen and select the correct answer! There are two games to play as a reward. The Door Game (Can you find what you are asked to look for?), and the Basketball Hoops game.  The app even tracks progress and allows for multiple players across multiple difficulty levels. This is a great app for independent or small group work! Check it out!

Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm by Colvard Learning, LLC. Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm is a great place to visit to work on beginning phonemic awareness and phonics skills!  Featuring fun, animated listening activities for identifying sounds at the beginning, middle, and end of words, this is a hit with my students!

The app also helps work on rhyming,  sound blending, segmentation, sound manipulation, and deletion.  I really like the engaging graphics, narrator, and option to select the specific skills you want to work on!  This app tracks progress across multiple users. There are several interactive activities for each sound for lots of auditory bombardment.  Bluebee Pals are perfect to pair with this app!

Jack and the Beanstalk by Nosy Crow …Just for fun.  I like to introduce my students to classic fairy tales. This version of Jack and the Beanstalk is very engaging and has lots of interactivity with it to make the story come to life. It is a combination of story, game play, and exploration.

Students can collect keys to unlock different rooms in the castle and complete activities.  You can wake up the giant in different places to make lots of different endings to the story. Fun to use for encouraging creativity and imagination and story retell skills. You can target lots and lots of receptive and expressive language with Jack’s story.  Bluebee Pals add to the magic of the story!
