Articulation
Station Pro by Little Bee Speech
I
am so excited to share my review of Articulation Station Pro with you! A huge thank you goes out to Little Bee
Speech for giving me this opportunity. I’ve
only be using Articulation Station Pro for a few short weeks but I must say,
this is a must have articulation app.
This app can be used on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. It targets 22 speech sounds at the word, sentence and story levels. The images in this app are REAL photographs which
makes them extremely appealing to my students!
There are also 6 different activities including flashcards, matching,
rotating sentences, unique sentences, level 1 stories, and level 2 stories. There is a great tutorial on the homepage of this app which is extremely helpful.
Getting started:
First thing you want to do is set up your student's profile (name, age, gender, and notes). You can also add pictures to the profiles! One great feature on this app is that you have the ability to do a group session rather than just using it with one student only.
Once you have entered the names, its time to pick the speech sound or sounds and activity!
Words: Flashcards or Matching
You will need to choose the sound position (initial, medial, final, and blends) in the flashcards and matching activities. Once you have chosen, press begin.
Under the words feature, you can choose from either flashcards or matching. I find the flashcards great for drill practice. My students never get tired of the awesome pictures! You can also record them practicing the words for instant feedback.
Pictured above is the matching activity. I have my students take turns or play together as a group. Each time a student turns a card over, he/she practices the word. Another great feature is the auditory feedback. Students can listen to the word and also record themselves saying it. They always get a kick out of hearing their own voices! As seen on the right side, the green check is for correct responses and the red "x" is for incorrect responses. This app keeps track of all data for each of your students which is so beneficial when it comes to tracking progress.
Unique or Rotating Sentences
The rotating sentences include three or more target words per sentences with picture prompts. My students love pressing the "spin" button to change the last word of the sentence. Just like the words activity, you can track correct and incorrect responses as well as record.
Each unique sentence also includes three or more target words. This activity is perfect for readers and great for sentence recall.
Stories
Level 1 features silly sentences loaded with target words. The picture prompts are an added bonus. After reading through the sentences, you will see three comprehension questions.
Level 2 is for your more advanced readers. Each story includes multiple target words and ends with comprehension questions. Both levels are perfect for working on reading comprehension.
Under the settings option, you have the ability to add custom images, change scoring options, sort by syllables and more.
Lastly, you have the ability to save, print, and e-mail all data. I hope you found this review helpful and useful. Be sure to head over to Little Bee Speech's website for more information on Articulation Station Pro. You can try this app for FREE (P sound only) or purchase the Pro version (ALL sounds) directly from the iTunes store.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to use this with all of my artic kiddos!! I've heard some amazing things about this app! Thanks a million for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFantastic giveaway! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'd use the Level 1 with my younger kiddos to practice their speech sounds and I think the Level 2 would be great for the older ones who need help with the sentence level and beyond for generalization. Thanks so much for this giveaway, I've been wanting this app for some time now!
ReplyDeleteOOps didn't answer the question. Hoping to use this with clients in combination of other methods to help provide many opportunities for learning and practice!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to use this with my artic students. The variety of activities look great. Thanks for the giveaway!

Love using my iPad in therapy and this would be a great articulation app for my students!

I have several students who would benefit from this great app, from preschool kiddos to sixth graders. Additionally, the ability to send data right away would be very helpful for parents, as well as more motivating for them to carry over at home. Thanks so much for offering this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely app. I use some of the sounds for primary school children most of who have have speech sound difficulties. I use my own IPAD in therapy as i work in a deprived school with children from poor backgrounds and as a result have to fund my own apps so the giveaway would be amazing and so beneficial to these children. Would be a really motiational tool for them. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLevel 1 for learning the sounds and level 2 for more carryover and generalizing activities. Looks like this would be a great help for data keeping and sharing as well.
ReplyDeleteI would use this app with my artic kiddos! I am always looking for new activities that are fun and engaging! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI am a brand spanking new SLP, and I work for the schools. This looks like a wonderful app that will not only be useful for me to track data, but fun for the kids, too!
ReplyDeleteI would use this app with my speech kids in therapy.
ReplyDeleteI really need more artic materials and I think this would keep me covered for a while!
ReplyDeleteAwesome app! I have so many artic kids on my caseload, this would be fun and motivating instead of the same artic cards over and over. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would use this as a motivational reinforcement for my students
ReplyDeleteI would be absolutely over the moon to win this app!! I have used Articulation Station as a student teacher and loved it! As a new SLP, I could really use this. (I'm too broke to buy it just yet!) The recording feature was incredibly helpful, as it helped some of my students to realize that their productions were not accurate.
ReplyDeleteI think this would be an awesome app to use with my students. I like the idea of the recording feature and the iPad in and of itself is so motivating for the students I work with. The possibilities with this app are endless.
ReplyDeleteI would love this app! I would use this app with my preschool and elementary students. They would really enjoy the graphics and the recording feature to hear their own voice! This would be a really fun and motivating application for my kiddos! :)
ReplyDeleteI have the demo version of this app. This app would prerty much guarantee picture cards being a thing of the past. I love the game feature and also the data tracking.
ReplyDeleteI really like the game feature!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any artic card decks so I use my iPad for all artic targets! My students love recording themselves and pushing the green button when they produce a word correctly :)
ReplyDeleteThere is so much that this app allows you to do! It would be a great to have this app! I love the recording feature as well. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis app really allows for higher level practice beyond the word level in a way that many other apps do not.
ReplyDeleteBesides being colorful and motivating with the spin button, this app has great potential for teaching students auditory feedback with the record and listen button! Great feature. I love how many different sounds and levels are included!
ReplyDeleteThis app would be a super motivator for my iPad loving kids! I like the games and recording feature. This is the artic app all my Speechies friends want!
ReplyDeleteI will use it mainly as a motivation tool. My kids love iPad apps and the traditional artic games just don't cut it.
ReplyDeleteThis app looks amazing! I travel to several schools so this would REALLY help cut down on all the artic cards I carry! I would love to have all my 'cards' in one place on the iPad!
ReplyDeleteI hope to win!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to use this with my speech students to do reading comprehension at the story level on it for my language kids as well as have access to all the sounds for my various speech students. I only have the /p/ sound that came with the lite version.
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a generous offer! I would love the full-version of this app. I currently use the 'free' version, and it only goes so far. :)
ReplyDeleteI would use all the levels, but especially the upper levels -sentences, reading etc. I work with prek-high school and am always looking for materials and activities that can be used with a broad spectrum of ages and abilities. This looks like it would meet many of my students' needs.
ReplyDeleteGreat for independent work during speech centers and drill!
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy to help improve my child's speech. He is a bright 4 year old boy who talks a lot but cannot converse well with adults since they cannot understand his baby talk. He loves the trial version and the full version would surely help him a lot. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI will use it for drills and independent work centers!
ReplyDeleteI would use this as a independent station in my rotations for articulation practice.
ReplyDeleteThis app would be great to have for my clients of all ages. Compared to other artic apps I've used, this one has so many more options for different levels and games.
ReplyDeleteI have used this app on my iPad at work in place of flashcard drills. My clients LOVE playing the matching game as a reward for finishing session objectives! I would be thrilled to have this complete app for my personal iPad and private practice!!
ReplyDeleteI would use this app with my artic kiddos! Not only is the app itself wonderful, but the ipad is also very motivating! Would be a wonderful app to win for my CFY!
ReplyDeleteI like to incorporate technology in much of my therapy, and this seems to be the most versatile speech app I've found. Because I purchase all of my own apps, and because the good speech apps are so expensive, I don't have anything effective and fun for my poor artic kiddos. I would love to have Articulation Station Pro to add to my toolbox. It would make a wonderful gift at the conclusion of my CF year!

ReplyDeleteMy kids really love using my Ipad and would love what they can do with Articulatin Station Pro. I am finishing up my CF year and am slowly building my apps and would love to include this one.
ReplyDeleteWith my artic students in therapy to supplement the artic activities I have.
ReplyDeleteI have Artic Pix but would love to add this as well!
ReplyDeleteWe just got iPads in my district, and my artic kiddos would LOVE this!!
