Categories With Splingo

Categories with Splingo is an essential therapy and teaching tool from the authors of the successful Splingo series of Speech and Language Therapy apps.

Developed by experienced Speech and Language Pathologists/Therapists, Categories with Splingo uses bright, colorful images and motivating gameplay to encourage children to learn categorization skills.

Speech and Language Pathologists frequently target Categorization as a key cognitive-linguistic skill in the development of language and vocabulary acquisition. Being able to successfully categorize supports the development of receptive language, expressive language, vocabulary and links between concepts.

This app is fun, motivating and highly engaging for children of all ages. Multiple categories are available to select from and simple but effective gameplay allows children to focus on sorting of key vocabulary. Select the categories you wish to sort then drag the pictures into the correct categories.

Audio reinforcement helps children to focus and correct and incorrect responses support learning. The written word can be displayed if required to support reading comprehension. There is also an exciting and motivating Splingo! reward game to really hold children’s attention!

Categories and subcategories include:
Animals
Transport (Land, Air, Sea)
Clothing (Warm and Cold Weather)
Food (Vegetables, Fruit, Sweet)
Drinks
Toys
Sports
Musical Instruments
Furniture
Body Parts
