My Take
I work with special needs students on an individual basis. I find this app very good to teach and reinforce grammar skills. The students I work with like the cartoon type characters they interact with on the app. They especially like the songs and short videos that accompany the lessons.
How I Use It
As a teaching tool, I would use it more as reinforcement after formal type lessons. I like that independent students are free to go through the map and choose if they want to do the videos, stories, songs or games. I also find the quizzes utilized throughout the app to be very helpful for assessment purposes. It could be better if it offered some type of progress report or check in order to support the data collected from the quizzes .

Cute Approach to Grammar
I really like this website. Grammar is such a dull topic that and the videos and characters make it more engaging. It was especially beneficial for my ELLs and IEP kids. They consistently scored 90% or higher on the quizzes attached to the lessons. I also like that it starts with the basic parts of speech but breaks it down into more complex ideas. Nouns, for example, include common, proper, concrete and abstract nouns. It also includes prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.

Catchy and fun way for students to practice grammar.

Various features include mini movies, music videos, lessons, and games. Student engagement remains high with the fun graphics and music. Independent practice for students on something as boring as grammar is much more fun and engaging with this app.
