Incy Wincy Spider for iPad [iPad]

Dress Incy Wincy Spider and develop your child’s listening and language skills!

***********************

Created by Listening and Spoken Language Specialists in conjunction with Early Childhood Teachers, Incy Wincy Spider is a highly interactive learning experience. The app is full of wonderful educational ideas, animated interactive games, and engaging sounds to encourage the development of listening and language skills in young children. Families of children who have reduced hearing or language problems will find the app particularly useful.

Incy Wincy Spider has been designed as a cooperative app for parents and children so they can participate in a variety of shared activities together.

The app is divided into three sections:

1. Ideas
This section provides strategies and techniques, including instructional videos on how to use Incy Wincy Spider to develop listening and language skills. This is achieved through interactive play, craft, and ideas on how to sing the song differently. These ideas are grouped together depending on your child’s language level:
-Emerging language
-Putting words together
-Putting sentences together

2. Interactive games
There are two fully animated games that target different levels of listening and language skills. With help from mum or dad, your child can choose to play a game that either consolidates or extends their current listening and language abilities. The games are:
-Dress Incy Wincy
Dress Incy Wincy to match the weather. This game expands your child’s vocabulary on different kinds of weather (sunny, rainy, snowy) and the clothes you wear for each.

- Find the opposites
Help Incy Wincy explore the backyard to find objects that are the opposite, e.g. tall tree / short tree. This game introduces the concept and vocabulary related to things that are the opposite.

PLEASE NOTE: Games are not compatible with iPad VoiceOver screen reader.

3. Music and karaoke
Learn the lyrics to Incy Wincy Spider. A karaoke style sing-a-long with music and lyrics is a great way to involve your child in singing.
