PrepositionBuilder™ for Android

This app is a great visual app for teaching prepositions. My son finds it very motivating and enjoys the animated reinforcers when he has a correct answer. I do think this app is more appropriate for readers since they are expected to drag the correct answer into a sentence. I don't think it would be as helpful for pre-readers.

We have seen great improvement with my son since starting to work with this app. Love that there is a feature for reinforcement when he gets an answer correct. With the drag and drop feature we are also working on his fine motor skills. Fantastic app!

PrepositionBuilder™ is a fantastic app to teach children a wide variety of prepositions. You can choose from 9 different modules, each of which target 3 specific prepositions. The app uses fun cartoon pictures to depict each sentence, including the preposition, and children need to select the correct preposition, then drag and drop it into the sentence. This app supports multiple users, and has options for turning off audio instruction and correct answer reinforcement. There are no ads or social links. My son enjoys learning with Mobile Education apps, so he was a little disappointed that he had to wait through an entire module (about 21 questions) for a reward animation. I would like to see the ability to change the frequency of the reward animation in settings, as it is in several other apps by this developer. I do recommend this app though.

Preposition Builder makes use of errorless teaching and applied behavior analysis methodologies to teach and evaluate understanding of prepositions. Like other Mobile Education Store apps, Preposition Builder can keep track of progress of multiple students in a class. Prior to starting an exercise, the teacher (or student!) can choose which prepositions are being evaluated, and whether or not to record the student’s voice reading each sentence. A series of short story animations can be unlocked with each completed section. This provides incentive for students to complete the exercises so that they can find out how the story ends. To provide documentation of student progress, Preposition Builder allows reports to be emailed to students or teachers. My only recommendation for future updates to this program would be the ability to email progress reports for ALL students (or perhaps an option to print?). Depending on the number of students in a class, it can become tedious sending individual records for each student.

If only it had a read aloud option....
