Make speech therapy fun with Fonemo Photo. The app is intended for older children in special school who needs to practice pronunciation. It contains simple memory game based on photographs and 5 speech sounds to practice with three difficulty levels. The word is played every time you turn a card.

"I really liked that the app is easy to setup and understand. I think this is a nice alternative to the standard speech practice sheets that are often sent home." says Amanda Blackburn, reviewer on the website iHeartThisApp.

Fonemo Photo is a tool to help children and young people with speech sound disorders. With Fonemo you can practice for instance the sound s in many ways. To make the training of speech sounds fun, Fonemo works as a game. Saying words out loud is part of the game. You can record the users pronunciation and together you can listen to it.

If you have played the game memory you can play Fonemo Photo. Pair cards with images that are alike. In Fonemo Photo all the images contain words with the current speech sound. You can press the microphone that you will find on the game board, repeat the word and listen to it. The recorded sound will play automatically, but you can also press the green play button if you want to listen to it again.

Fonemo Photo is easy to learn. The user does not have to be literate since the game is based on images. The cards contain words with the current speech sound in the beginning, the middle or in the end. You can also practice the speech sound adjacent to a vowel, a consonant or multipel consonants.

How to play Fonemo Photo

If you are two players keep pairing cards until there is a mismatch. Then the turn goes to the other player. A green light will help you keep track on who’s turn it is. When you have matched two cards and got a pair, it is the same players turn again, the green light will then flash to remind you.
