Comments:

  • Wide range of different semantic exercises. Most require auditory comprehension. Only the very basic odd one out & association exercises don’t.
  • Exercise complexity increases by providing more semantically similar distractors
  • Some exercises on adjectives and prepositions
  • All exercises have a picture and written word version so they cater for anyone wishing to work on semantics whether they can read or not
  • This program can be purchased as a monthly subscription which gives access to all the React2.com modules. This may work out cheaper than purchasing the stand alone module, depending on how long it is needed for. A stand alone, offline version exists for those without internet access.
