Product Description:
This program focuses on high-frequency irregular verbs and trains them in their base, present, present progressive, past, and past perfect forms. Four verb training activities are available. The first activity trains 30 early developing verbs using animated pictures. The second offers training on 108 of the most common irregular verbs in a multiple choice format in which both the verb forms and the sentences are read aloud to the student. The third activity trains in a format similar to the second activity, but only the verb forms are read aloud. The last activity requires the students to spell the various irregular verb forms. In all activities, there are teacher choices to set interface, level of difficulty, speech and/or text options, response time, and background reinforcement animation. Additional Information or purchase.

Verbs are grouped for more effective training.
You have the option to select an individual verb or you can choose from groupings by age of acquisition or linguistic category. Grouping verbs by category enables your child to see patterns of verb construction and generalize specific lessons.

Here's an example of how verbs can be grouped for more effective training:

blow know grow

blew knew grew

blown known grown

This program will help your students master all those irregular verbs that can cause problems in middle school and beyond.
