LinguaPix [iPad]

LinguaPix is an engaging iPad app for individuals to practice expressive language skills in three activities: Flashcards, Matching, and Pick or Spin. In the activities, users (up to 8 at a time) practice naming, describing, formulating sentences, and more.

The free version of LinguaPix includes the Health and Safety deck with 77 cards depicting nouns and verbs in real photos. The following 14 decks are additionally available as in-app purchases: Animals, Around the House, Body Parts, Clothing, Cooking and Cleaning, Food and Drink (a-m), Food and Drink (n-z), Hygiene and Personal Care, Occupations and People, School, Sports and Recreation, Tools, Toys and Games, and Travel and Transportation. Overall, LinguaPix has 15 decks with an average of 70 cards per deck and a total of 1,035 cards.

Although LinguaPix has a wide range of content, you can create your own custom decks in the Create module (as long as you have purchased all of the pre-made decks). Take photos or use photos from your camera roll to create cards for use in the Flashcards, Matching, and Pick or Spin activities. After you create your custom decks, you can combine them with the pre-made decks in any of the three activities.

LinguaPix also has four tasks included throughout the activities: Say It, Repeat It, Expand It, and Describe It. Say It is for naming photos; Repeat It is for repeating modeled words or phrases about photos; Expand It is for formulating sentences about photos; and Describe It is for describing photos by answering WH questions. The Flashcards activity includes all four tasks, while the Matching activity includes the Say It and Repeat It tasks, and the Pick or Spin activity includes the Expand It and Describe It tasks. The three activities (Flashcards, Matching, Pick or Spin) in LinguaPix include the following features:
