Ringo
Bingo Sight Vocabulary software
is suitable for all students who are developing their reading acquisition
skills, especially those with reading difficulties, who are dyslexic
or have dyscalculia, short-term memory or ADD. It is also suitable for
'English as a Second Language' students.
Reliable
knowledge of basic sight vocabulary is the cornerstone of reading efficiency.
Ringo
Bingo, the basic sight word vocabulary game by the award winning author,
Hunter Calder, is a pleasant and highly motivational way of ensuring
students reinforce the systematic development of these words.
The
240 words taught in Ringo Bingo make up approximately two-thirds
of the vocabulary in infant level books, and more than half of all adult
reading material.
There
are ten lists of words and students must be proficient in one list before
progressing to the next. The program monitors word accuracy, time taken
per game, and error rate. Problem words are listed after each game,
and can be printed out for further practice and revision away from the
computer.
There
are three achievement awards (bronze, silver and gold medal accuracy)
with printable certificates that recognise and encourage student effort.
The accuracy rate (percentage %) is adjustable to meet the learning
needs for each individual student.
Ringo
Bingo is a proven method of increasing a student's knowledge of basic
sight words. Instant recognition of sight vocabulary gives students
more time to concentrate on words that are difficult for them. Ringo
Bingo is an essential component of the literacy skills taught in the
Reading Freedom series.
This
program has been endorsed by Specific Learning Difficulties Association.
