What is First Phrases Lite? The First Phrases Lite app is an interactive and animated app designed for toddlers and speech-delayed children who are learning basic English phrases. The app provides opportunities to hear, see, and say/record 10 different verb + noun combinations, such as eating a carrot, driving a train, and closing a door. The app features a delightful cat that performs the actions with 28 possible animation combinations. The app is also useful for teaching the article "the" in a meaningful phrase context.
1. How you play: Tell the cat what to do! By touching the illustrated parts of the phrases in order (verb+ object forms: “eat the carrot”) the child hears the pre-recorded spoken phrase modeled.
2. This format is especially powerful for children with speech delays and autism spectrum disorders who need strong visual support with as little background clutter as possible, and for use in speech therapy sessions.
3. This interactive, beautifully illustrated and animated app for the iPHONE is perfect for the toddler or speech-delayed child who is learning how to put two-three words together or any child who is learning basic English phrases.
4. It provides many opportunities to both hear (receptive), see, and say/record (expressive) 10 different verb + noun combinations, such as: eat the carrot, drive the train, close the door, drink the juice, sleep on the bed, turn on the light, and more.
5. Hamaguchi Apps for Speech, Language & Auditory Development is committed to bringing you the highest-quality interactive and colorful apps at the most affordable prices.
6. Developed by noted speech-language pathologist and author of Childhood Speech, Language & Listening Problems: What Every Parent Should Know, Patti Hamaguchi, M.A., CCC-SLP.
7. Options include text on/text off, recording feature on/off, presentation of the phrase in 3 segments (verb + the + object) or 2 segments (verb + the object).
8. The format also is a terrific way to support early literacy for left to right orientation, reading (with text on feature) and word boundaries.
9. The child then watches an animation of the cat performing the command to help the child associate the words and their meaning.
10. Now it’s the child’s turn to say it and tell the cat what to do! Touch the microphone and record, listen again, and watch the animal follow your direction.
