Language # Pronouns Practice Pronouns: select the picture, or find and read the written word Two games. In the Picture game, the app reads a sentence aloud, for example “We are playing with cars.” The learner taps the one of two pictures that matches the sentence. Phase 2 adds he and she. Word cards show written pronouns: 17 words in four lists. The learner hears “Find, she.” and touches the word. Or the learner reads one card to you, and you score it. [Open Pronouns Practice](https://aba-tools.com/tools/pronouns) ## When - Teach receptive pronouns after the learner can match pictures and follow short sentences. - Go from we and they to all four pronouns (Phase 2). - Practice written pronouns with word cards. The learner finds the word by sound, or reads it. ## Why - The two pictures show the same activity. Only the pronoun is different. - The trials are balanced. The same side, card position, pronoun, or word never comes more than two times in sequence. - The tool has error correction. If the learner taps an incorrect picture, the app says “Try again.” The learner must select the correct picture to continue. - Word cards never show the word in the prompt. The learner cannot match the word by sight. ## How 1. On the setup screen, tap the **Picture game** card or the **Word cards** card. The app saves the choice for the learner. 2. For the picture game, tap a **Level** card: **We and they**, or **We, they, he, and she** (Phase 2). Use Phase 2 after the learner meets criterion on we and they. 3. For word cards, tap a **Words** card to select the word list. 4. Tap **Say this to your learner**. Read the script to your learner. The tips for the RBT and BCBA are under the script. 5. Tap **More settings** to see the other settings. For word cards, select a **Learner** option. In **Find the word**, the voice says “Find, she.” and the learner touches the word. In **Read the word**, the app shows one large card. Tap **Correct** or **Not yet**, or push → or ←. For Find the word, also select **Number of cards** (2 or 3). The word for you shows in small text at the top. 6. Under More settings, select **Trials per block** (6, 10, 12, or 20). 7. If you read the sentences or words yourself, set **Voice reads aloud** to Off. If not, keep it On. 8. To hear “Great job!” or a similar phrase after each correct answer, set **Praise** to On. This setting is Off at the start. It also works when the voice is off. 9. On a new device, tap **Test sound** under Voice reads aloud before you start. 10. Tap **Play**. To hear the sentence or word again, tap the speaker button. 11. At the end of a block, the app shows the results for each pronoun. To continue, tap **Play another round**. To stop before the end, tap **✕**, then tap **End and see data**. 12. To practice a trial again, tap **Next time** next to it in **Trial by trial**. In the picture game, the pronoun and activity of that trial come back one time in the next picture round. They replace one turn of that pronoun. He and she trials wait for a round with Phase 2. In word cards, the word comes back in the next word-card round with a list that has that word. **Saved to the dashboard:** The first touch on each trial, or your score of each card that the learner reads aloud. The app does not score corrections after an error. The graph shows a new phase when the game, phase, Learner option, word list, or number of cards changes. ## More learner activities - **[Flashcards](https://aba-tools.com/guide/flashcards)** (Naming & recognition): Naming pictures (tacts) in discrete trials - **[Find It](https://aba-tools.com/guide/find-it)** (Listening): Listener responding: the learner hears a word and taps the picture - **[Which One?](https://aba-tools.com/guide/which-one)** (Listening): Listener responding by function, feature, and class - **[Match It](https://aba-tools.com/guide/match-it)** (Matching): Visual matching to sample - **[Sort It](https://aba-tools.com/guide/sort-it)** (Matching): Sorting pictures by class, function, or feature - **[Put It](https://aba-tools.com/guide/put-it)** (Listening): Following instructions with in, on, under, next to, and in front of - **[Feel It](https://aba-tools.com/guide/feel-it)** (Social): Reading feelings in social situations: how a person feels, why, and what to say - **[Count & Compare](https://aba-tools.com/guide/count)** (Math): Early math: numerals 1–5, counting, matching numbers to amounts, more and less, and size - **[Word Match](https://aba-tools.com/guide/word-match)** (Reading): Early reading: matching printed words to pictures, and letters - **[Trace It](https://aba-tools.com/guide/trace-it)** (Writing): Pre-writing and handwriting: tracing lines, shapes, letters, and numbers - **[My Way](https://aba-tools.com/guide/my-way)** (Communication): A functional request (mand), for example in FCT - **[Say It](https://aba-tools.com/guide/say-it)** (Communication): A talker (AAC) for requests and first sentences, with every press counted - **[Toothbrushing](https://aba-tools.com/guide/toothbrushing)** (Daily routines): A 9-step toothbrushing chain (task analysis) - **[Tiny Bites](https://aba-tools.com/guide/tiny-bites)** (Daily routines): Bite shaping for food selectivity, with a choice board - **[Token Board](https://aba-tools.com/guide/tokens)** (Motivation): A token economy: a themed token board or a gem jar, with a picture menu of how to earn The guide has all tools, learner profiles, and questions.
