About TargetTree
TargetTree is an articulation practice app for speech therapy. Pick a sound, filter to just the words you want by position and syllable count, then run through bright, full-screen word cards, with a handful of playful rating games to keep kids motivated. It's built to be fast and focused to use during a live session, on phone, iPad, or in the browser.
See how each session went
As you run through a sound's word cards, tap Got it! or Almost! on each one. At the end, TargetTree shows the percentage of words the client got right, plus how many you practiced, so you have an instant accuracy score for the session.
Getting around
Favorite a sound
Tap the target ring in the corner of any tile to pin that sound. Favorites jump to their own section at the top of the grid, so the sounds you work on most are always one tap away. Tap the ring again to unpin.
Reorder the tiles
Press and hold a tile (or click and drag on a computer), then move it to arrange each section however you like. A quick tap still opens the sound. The hold is what starts a drag, so you can still scroll normally on a touch screen.
Sign in to save
Your favorites and custom tile order are tied to your account, so they follow you to every device you sign in on. Signed-out visitors always see the default layout.
About us
Will and Sherilyn Johnson
Sherilyn is a speech-language pathologist who works mostly with children, and she's the brains behind TargetTree. Her day-to-day work with clients shapes what the app does and how it feels, from the way sounds are grouped to the games that keep kids engaged. Will, her husband, is a software developer who enjoys building apps that help people and make their lives easier. He set out to give Sherilyn a tool for more engaging, playful therapy sessions, and to share it with the SLPs and families who could use it too.
