Overview

Reliable knowledge of basic sight vocabulary is the cornerstone of reading efficiency.

Dingo 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 Dingo 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.

Dingo 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.

Dingo 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. SPELD(SA)INC.
