The importance of Verb Practice

As early as kindergarten, students are expected to use frequently occurring verbs and nouns 1. In first grade, students are expected to use verbs to convey a sense of past, present, and future 2. By grade 5, students are expected to recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in verb tense as well as use perfect verb tenses 3. Each grade incorporates increasingly difficult levels of verbs in their requirements. Understanding, and using, the correct verb tense is critical for academic writing 4. Verb Quest is the perfect speech therapy software to help students gain the knowledge needed for success.

What are speech pathologists saying?

I love that the levels automatically progress as the kids make progress.” 

Jenna Raybun

MA, CCC-SLP

Verb Quest fills a need for an app that targets verb tenses. It is very comprehensive with lots of different areas that can be targeted. The app also allows you to customize the activities to your student. I loved the real pictures they used to pair with the sentences and the option to record the phrase with the correct verb tense is great

Maureen Wilson

Once you get it right, you have the option of recording yourself repeating the sentence to practice speaking correctly. I LOVE this option

Lauren LaCour

Speech-Language Pathologist

The verb is the heart of a sentence – every sentence must have a verb. Recognizing the verb is often the most important step in understanding the meaning of a sentence. Verb Quest is a great app for addressing this skill in great depth.
