Overview
Reliable knowledge of sight vocabulary words is one of the important cornerstones of
reading efficiency, and is fundamental to developing confident and fluent readers.
Dingo Bingo 3 completes this popular series with a final 240 sight words. A small
number of selected words from Dingo Dingo 2 are included to provide further
reinforcement and to develop spelling mastery. The program is a proven and highly
motivational way of helping students develop the ability to instantly recognise these
commonly used words in an enjoyable way.
There are ten lists of words. 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.
Two spelling games are also included to further challenge students, and ensure they
learn to spell these words correctly.
The program incorporates a 3-tier reward system to encourage student achievement,
including printable certificates that can be viewed on screen.
Dingo Bingo is a long-time favourite in homes and schools, and is now even more
popular as a learning resource for electronic whiteboards. Kids just love it!
