Good for early readers
I think that this app is good but is also limited. For ELL students it can help with sentence structure and vocabulary development. Students with basic word knowledge can use this app. It has audio to go along so it teaches the words along with the sentence structure. It is limited in it's excitement so engagement has been an issue. This would be a good app for use for a warm up activity for 5 minutes or less. Any longer and I think students would loose engagement.
