Squebbles Punctuation is an app that covers a grammar and punctuation for students ages 5-11. The app covers four skills: punctuation placement, Its or it’s, possessive apostrophes, and contraction capers. The price for this app is $2.99- $3.99 and can be purchased through google play and the app store. It’s compatible with many devices. The site credibility was concrete, because it gave real time reviews from parents and educators.

App #2

Grammaropolis

Grammaropolis is an app that has a variety of ways on reaching the learner. It has games, singing, examples, stories, and etc. The students are able to use different devices to get gain access to the app. The app is free, but in order to use all parts, there’s a fee that embedded in the app to gain more access. The app covers ages 8-13 and seems to be a great source to use after teaching an ELA lesson for remediate and enrichment students.

App #3

Punctuation Marks

https://www.educationalappstore.com/app/punctuation-marks

Punctuation Marks is an app that can be used through an iPad or iPhone. This app allows students to fix sentences and correct the capitalization on different words. The cost off the app is $3.99 and the age range is from 3^rd- 12^th grade. The students will be able to identify and highlight different parts of a sentence. They will become comfortable in placing punctuation marks in the correct areas of a sentence.

My Choice: 

Out of the three apps I reviewed, my favorite app is Squeebles Punctuation. This app allows the students to build up their knowledge by levels. Each level will challenge the students more each time. This is an app that can be used from Kindergarten until fifth grade. Students will be able to use this particular app for intervention or enrichment. It also can be used as a way to remediate the students after a skill has been taught in whole group.
