Sentence Sensibility
© 2017 Touch Press
Great for upper elementary and middle school reading practice, this well-designed set of sentence building puzzles can challenge higher-level reading comprehension and sentence structure abilities. You start with an easy tutorial and then move into the first two (free) levels, using sentences drawn from classic literature. You start with a set of words often taken from a great work of literature (e.g., Peter Pan). There are two modes: unscramble (complete the original sentence) and remix (create as many sentences as possible to earn points). A leaderboard lets you compete against other players, and the app keeps track of all your assembled sentences. Testers liked this app, but wanted a better hint system and more control over the background sounds. The cost is $7.99 for the full version, or you can subscribe for $5/month to get all the Touch Press Games monthly. This curriculum-friendly game was created by Schell Games for Amplify.
