Articulation Station is a very useful app for children who need to practice clear articulation of specific sounds, but the app requires ongoing adult involvement to be effective. The app is designed to work on one sound at a time, with six activities for each sound plus quick tips for the adult to use to teach and reinforce the sound. The activities are appropriate for different ages and reading levels such as matching games and flashcards with pictures for younger readers, and two difficulty levels of stories for emerging and fluent readers. Words are adaptable for starting, middle and ending sounds. All words and sentences can be read out loud with a simple tap of a button for ongoing audio reinforcement, and students can always record themselves to better understand how they are doing. An adult should do the app with the child to reinforce proper pronunciation, and the adult can assess the student's progress after each activity to track progress. The app is free to trial with the p sound, and other letter sounds can be purchased individually. This option can be a money saver for children who might only struggle with a few specific sounds. Speech therapists use this app, and parents and teachers can use this app as a supplement between sessions. Overall, this is a great tool for parents and teachers to use with a child that provides relatively enjoyable yet effective practice.
