TenseBuilder 1.6.1

Available as a standalone application or as part of our MES Speech Therapy Bundle, TenseBuilder has garnered multiple awards, including second place for Best Educational App at Let's Talk SLP in 2012, and recognition as the Best Teaching and Education App by TeachHub.com and TeachersWithApps.com respectively in the same year.

TenseBuilder is designed with the objective of enhancing students' understanding and correct usage of verb tenses through engaging, high-quality animated videos that depict past, present, and future tense scenarios. The program includes 48 video lessons, with plans to expand to 58, providing an in-depth exploration of tense concepts with particular emphasis on irregular verb past tense forms.

The app facilitates learning how to sequence events and distinguish between actions that will occur, are occurring, or have occurred. It actively promotes recognition of accurate written verb forms through interactive tasks where students drag correct verbs into sentences, fostering both receptive and expressive language skills. Additionally, students can record their own sentences to reinforce mastery and encourage the transfer of tense use to conversational contexts.

Designed to support a comprehensive understanding of verb tenses, TenseBuilder creates a structured environment where students can improve their grammatical skills in a meaningful context.
