Listening Power Grades 4-8+ app

 

                                 



After my last app review - Fun with directions, a parent got in touch and asked for an app suggestion for her teenage son with advanced comprehension skills who needed more auditory workout. Thanks for getting in touch and here is the app recommendation for you - Listening Power for grades 4-8+, developed by Patti Hamaguchi, an experienced speech therapist.


This app offers excellent workout for auditory processing skills like auditory memory and closure, comprehension skills, vocabulary. There are three levels of difficulty and you can also select the number of choices for each one.





There are five categories in this app:

1. Listening for meaning 
2. Listening for grammar ( which sentence sounds right?)
3. Listening for fast sentences
4. Listening for missing sounds ( auditory closure)
5. Listening to stories and answering questions ( you can add background noise too)











This app is by far, one of the most challenging ones, my son has worked on till now and I hope it helps your son too and other kids who are ready to move onto the next level of auditory comprehension. Take a look at the video demo of this app:
