Expressive Solutions LLC is pleased to announce the release of ArtikPix Levels and ArtikPix Levels Plus for iPad on the App Store.

ArtikPix Levels is the next level articulation app! ArtikPix Levels has 3 engaging activities for students to produce their speech sounds at various levels as they swipe through flashcards, find matching pairs, and spin a wheel.

In ArtikPix Levels, students can practice at the word level in the Matching activity, and they can practice at the word, phrase, sentence, and paragraph levels in the Flashcards and Pick or Spin activities. During the 3 activities, students interact with real photos from 1 or more of the following 24 decks: b, ch, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, l-blends, m, n, p, r, r-blends, s, s-blends, sh, t, th, v, w, y, z.

ArtikPix Levels has a total of 1,477 possible cards across the 24 decks with an average of 62 cards per deck and 126 cards in the “r” deck. More astounding is each target has content for the word, phrase, sentence, and paragraph levels; this means it is possible to have nearly 1,500 words, 1,500 phrases, 1,500 sentences, and 1,500 paragraphs in the app!

The free version of ArtikPix Levels includes the “th” deck with in-app purchases to buy individual decks or all of the decks at once. The paid version of ArtikPix Levels Plus (coming soon!) includes all 24 decks.
