Master the art of grammar and word order with a professional, ninja-themed experience. Whether for clinical therapy or home practice, we turn syntax into a high-engagement mission across 39 progressive levels.
Multi-Player Support Included
Sentence Ninja follows a natural language acquisition hierarchy, ensuring every learner builds a rock-solid foundation before moving to advanced linguistic missions.
Professionals can toggle specific sentence types "On" or "Off" or manually adjust the starting level for each player. This allows for a truly individualized intervention path.
Sentence structure is the vital bridge between a single word and a complete thought. Without mastery of word order, communication breaks down. Sentence Ninja provides the professional-grade scaffolding required to build these essential linguistic foundations.
The app teaches that word order is not random—it dictates meaning. By dragging words into the correct sequence, students see the immediate impact of syntax in real-time.
Sentence Ninja integrates visual sentence building with verbal recording, forcing the brain to connect the visual structure with the spoken word.
For SLPs and Educators, the "WHY" is in the tracking. Detailed reports show exactly where a student’s syntax is failing—allowing for precise, targeted intervention.
Every sentence is a mission. Students don't just look at grammar; they build it by dragging word fragments across the "stepping stones" of syntax.
Students drag color-coded word pieces onto the scroll at the bottom of the screen to complete the target sentence.
If a word is placed incorrectly, it snaps back to its origin, encouraging the student to analyze the sentence structure and try again.
Struggling ninjas can tap the "Hint" shuriken to see the first word of the sentence, providing the perfect amount of support without giving away the answer.
Sentence Ninja doesn't just teach grammar; it systematically fades support. By moving from simple color-matching to total linguistic independence, we ensure students truly internalize the architecture of language.
Double Scaffolding: Students are provided with colored word fragments and matching colored lines on the sentence scroll. This allows the learner to focus on success by simply matching colors to positions.
The colored target lines are removed. While the word fragments remain color-coded, students must now rely on their own reasoning to determine the correct order on the blank sentence strip.
All visual cues are withdrawn. The student builds the sentence using only linguistic knowledge and the context of the photograph. This represents true functional mastery of English syntax.
The professional settings menu allows you to independently toggle "Color Coded Cue" and "Display Colored Lines". This flexibility enables clinicians to create the perfect "just-right" challenge for every student.
Language is meant to be spoken. Sentence Ninja ensures that students don't just learn word order on a screen—they practice the rhythmic and phonetic delivery of their creations.
Once a sentence is built correctly, the app prompts the student to "Record it for you!". This reinforces the neural pathways between sight and speech.
Students can listen back to their recordings, enabling self-correction and helping them recognize grammatical nuances in their own voice.
This feature is vital for remote sessions, allowing SLPs to clearly hear a student's production even over poor internet signals[cite: 114].
Efficient caseload management requires tools that adapt to multiple students at once. Sentence Ninja allows you to run high-energy group sessions where every participant works on a custom-tailored mission.
One student can practice foundational Level 1 (Subj. + Verb) while another masters Level 7 (Verbing + Article Object) in the same session.
The app remembers exactly where each player left off. Level progression is automatically based on their last performance, or can be manually overridden via the "Modify" button.
The interface encourages social interaction and peer modeling as students take turns on the shared device, each with their own personalized ninja avatar.
The "sketch-style" interface provides a clear, focused environment for managing every aspect of a student's therapy session.
Instantly access graphical data that tracks a player's accuracy and growth trends over multiple sessions.
Manual override allows you to move the level slider up or down, ensuring the task difficulty always meets the "just right" challenge.
Celebrate success by viewing the trophies and awards a student has earned, turning clinical hard work into a sense of achievement.
From session-by-session history to granular level mastery, our clinical dashboard provides a 360-degree view of every student's linguistic trajectory.
Track accuracy percentages across all 39 levels. The dashboard clearly identifies which structures are "Practicing" and which have been mastered, allowing for immediate targeting of clinical gaps.
View a comprehensive chronological log of every student interaction. Reports capture the exact date, accuracy rates, and specifically which scaffolding settings like Hints and Color Cues were active.
Instantly export and share detailed data logs for IEP meetings, family communication, or clinical documentation. Our "Share" feature ensures that professional proof of growth is always just one tap away.
True linguistic competence requires practice across multiple environments. Sentence Ninja includes a comprehensive library of printable homework for every level, ensuring seamless carryover from clinic to home.
Access specialized worksheets for every group, including "Circle the Noun" foundation tasks, Maze challenges for Group 2, and advanced synthesis for Group 5.
Students track their journey to mastery in the Belt Dojo, earning visual status symbols as they conquer each of the 39 clinical levels.
Watch our comprehensive tutorial to see how Sentence Ninja transforms complex syntax lessons into an engaging, high-energy learning adventure.
Learn how to create up to 5 individual player profiles and select custom avatars.
Watch the drag-and-drop "stepping stone" system and the shuriken hint mechanic in real-time.

Abstract grammar rules can be difficult for many learners to grasp. Sentence Ninja uses vibrant, real-life photography to provide an immediate situational context for every sentence built.
By seeing "washing + the dog" or "growing + a plant" in a real photograph, students link syntax to the actions they see in their daily lives.
The photography provides a natural scaffold. Students use visual evidence from the photo to determine the correct subject and action, making grammar an act of observation.
"My students and I really enjoy working on sentence and grammar skills with Sentence Ninja... I appreciate the color-coded cues... My students love recording their sentences and tracking their progress."
Educational App Specialists
"Smarty Ears has created another great app that works on sentence production verbally and visually! It is so versatile... graphics are so fun and appeal to a wide age range."
SLP Resource Hub
Research in language acquisition emphasizes the importance of a structured hierarchy. Sentence Ninja follows this science by transitioning students from 2-word foundational phrases to complex, multi-clause sentences across 39 distinct levels.
The app utilizes "faded scaffolding"—a proven clinical technique. By using color-coded word fragments and target lines, it reduces cognitive load, allowing the brain to focus on the "science of word order" before transitioning to independent production.
Effective intervention requires a link between understanding structure and producing speech. The integrated recording feature forces the student to move from the visual construction of syntax to verbal expressive output.
