Hunt for the words hidden in a busy scene, then say each one in the spotlight.

Find the Hidden Items at a glance.
Every scene is hiding words with the student's sound! In Find the Hidden Items, a busy picture plays on a movie screen and kids hunt for the target words hidden in it, from Articulation Scenes, the iPad app. Find them all shows the words to look for; Listen and find says one word at a time, for listening practice before saying. Every word found is said aloud and steps into the spotlight, where you can score the student saying it correct, almost or try again. 75 scenes cover the English consonants in the beginning, middle and end of words, s, l and r blends, and vocalic /r/, and finding every word wins the scene's trophy.
