Smarty Ears has published a new app called Verb Quest authored by Rosie Simms. The app lends a nod to a certain Mr. Potter that my third grade student recognized immediately last night!
Start by adding a player and then tapping the player to select them.
Play with one or more student. I obviously played with my good friend JUSTIN!
The app has 20 levels of play to target a various verb tenses. You can play more than one level at the same time. I love that the levels automatically progress as the kids make progress.
Each probe has a picture, a sentence and choices to fill in the blank. After you drag the answer use the record button to make a sentence orally pops up. The student works to get through the 10 stones at the top of the page. Chose to move on to the next level or repeat the same level.
Student progress reports are sorted by session or by level. Options in the app include auto progression, hints, background, sounds, rewards, recording, etc. You can also select or deselect specific sentences.
This app was provided for review by Smarty Ears. No other compensation was provided and the opinions are mine.

I would love to use this with many of my students!! I just got an ipad yesterday so I need to start building my collection of apps! 🙂
I have many students on my caseload who would love to work on their verbs using this fun format!
I have an abundance of language kiddos this year. This would make a nice way to practice verbs with something new. They get tired of the FEw language apps I have!
I have so many grammar kiddos with verb goals this would be great!
I’ve looked at this app a few times, but wasn’t sure if I should get it- after reading this I WANT IT 🙂 Thanks for the review!
This would be great for some of my ELL students! 🙂
Always looking for new ways to work on verbs & I love the smarty ears apps!
This app would be used SO often. I have different levels of verb work going on, so this app would be so helpful in that it has all that you need in one place! Yay, less to carry. Thank you!
I’ve been looking for a good app to target verbs. This would be perfect.
Always looking for more great apps to use, especially for language with the older kids! This one looks perfect. Great review, Jenna!
Have so many students working on lengthening utterances using correct verb tense.
I have so many students I could use this with. It seems so much more fun than the drill cards I have.
I have several groups working on increasing their sentence lengths and details while using correct verb tense!!!
I have several kids on my caseload working on verbs and verb tenses. Do you know if there is a limit to the number of students that you can add/keep data on? Thanks so much for sharing!
I LOVE Smarty Ears apps, they are the BEST! I use Smarty Ears apps every day at school for something, either articulation, categories, prepositions, syntax, you name it! I need this verb app to work on verb tenses and sentences with the many elementary aged students I have with these goals. Using apps keeps them interested, excited, and engaged in learning, especially when the same old picture cards starts wearing thin.
I am always looking for new and interesting ways to address grammar, vocabulary building and improving verb usage. Thanks!
Always great to add verb apps to my collection. Especially since the card decks are wearing out. 🙂
Anything by Smarty Ears is going to be great!
This would be great for a lot of kids on my caseload and it sounds like a very useful app based on your review!
I would love this for my iPad- I have so many students who could benefit!!!
I have a bunch of kids who need to work on irregular/regular past tense verbs! This would be a fun format for them to be able to work on those skills!
The more I have on my ipad, the lighter my therapy bag!
Smarty ears apps are the best! My kids love them, so I would love to add this to my collection! I have so many kids working on this goal!
I have so many kiddos who need help with their verbs and pairing it up with an iPad is perfect. They would much rather “play” on my iPad than to do worksheets.
I am always looking for fun and engaging apps. I have a lot of kiddos who struggle with verb tense both orally and in writing.
Thanks for providing app reviews!
I’m always looking for apps to use with my older students. I have a bunch of apps for preschoolers, but not many for the older kids.
This app has so many possibilities for my students!
My elementary kiddos would live this!
* love
I would love to have this app to work with students. I work with students with significant syntactic and morphological delays. They love using the iPad. I have to purchase my apps on my own. Our school has no money for supplies.
I love Smarty Ears apps! This looks like it would be a great addition!
This would be perfect for my “too cool for speech” middle schoolers
I’m hosting an IPAD workshop for about 40 SLPs in November! I’d love a copy of this to share with them! I have so many kids that would love this!
oooh! Smarty Ears! One of my favorite speech app companies!
I would love to use to with my language delayed students:)
This is a great beginner app that I can use for my prek-kinder kiddos. Just starting out on a sub contract makes things rough for purchasing things for my kiddos, and this would make it a little easier for me 🙂
My students would love this!
Looks fun to use in speech therapy! Love Smarty Ears apps 🙂
I have two iPads of my own that I use in my middle school language arts classes. We have a huge problem with speech language services, so I try to address my students’ needs throughout our days and lessons. This is a nice app I could use! Thank you for the chance – and all your help.
I would love to have this app to use with my language students!! Verb tense is a big thing that many of my students are working on!!
We just got Ipads and this would be motivating for my students.
Would love to win to use with a variety of students! I’m always searching for new engaging apps!
I want this to add to my arsenal of fun and motivating grammar activities. It looks fun and eye catching! I know my students would LOVE it!
This looks like so much fun and my kids would love it!
I have quite a few students that could definitely use this app! My students love when I pull out the iPad.
