I have two students in year 4/5 that struggle with speaking. I have used the app Educreations with them. They have produced a few multi page stories complete with handwriting, text writing, photos, etc and have then recorded dialogue over it. Some of their recordings show real emotion and slowly improving pronunciation. I am also going to trial the app Dragon Dictation with them. It transcribes what they say. I think it will show them and me how their pronunciation improves over time - a real good record of their growth.
Cheers, David

I teach at Merrin Primary School and have been doing a teacher inquiry re: using devices and technology in ways to improve students' writing. I know that we don't teach much in isolation, but I would love to hear what is working best for you.
Also, what apps and sites do you recommend for pronunciation practice?
Cheers,
David
