Community reviews for My PlayHome Stores

My daughter has CAS (Childhood Apraxia of Speech) and as such we look for apps that encourage her to tell stories orally as she plays. This app has that and my daughter loves to play with it. She is constantly talking to her iPad as she plays, telling stories to herself, to her cats, to us, which is a huge win for this app. This app would be a great resource in an ELL classroom where students could practice words in English / native languages and practice their language skills telling stories to each other about what the people in the app are doing. In low literacy students could write stories about what they are going to have the characters do, and then 'act' it out inside the app. It would be a nice add on to allow children to take screenshots of what they are doing in the app that would be saved to the camera roll. Then they could put those images in sequential order, use them in other storytelling apps, etc. Also, they could add an ability for students to record their voices as they played with it or to record their play, making 'mini movies'. As it stands, this is a simple app that does encourage imagination and storytelling which can be an important aspect of growth for students at this age level.
