ABC-bingo är en ABC-klubben-app för barn som håller på att lära sig läsa och skriva. Låt ditt barn samla föremål och djur och samtidigt träna på att att höra hur bokstäver och ljud låter och läsa ord. ABC-klubbens appar tränar den grundläggande och viktiga fonologiska medvetenheten och ordavkodningen. Med fonologisk medvetenhet menas förmågan att dels kunna dela upp ett ord i olika ljud (analys) dels det bakvända, att kunna sätta ihop olika ljud till ord (syntes). I ABC-bingo tränas särskilt förmågan att identifiera första ljudet i ord och läsa korta ord. Tryck på bilden och lyssna. Vilket ljud hörs först? Vilken bokstav börjar ordet på? Leta efter ordet i rätt kolumn, eller på spelplanen om du valt nivå 2. När hela bingobrickan är fylld är spelomgången slut och spelaren får en stjärna som belöning. Svårighetsgraden kan anpassas på olika sätt så att övningen blir på rätt nivå för barnet, t.ex. genom val av versaler/gemener. När en bokstavsgrupp är avklarad dyker ett föremål eller djur upp vid den aktuella bokstavsgruppen på startsidan. Detta visar också hur långt barnet har kommit i appen. En del barn känner nog igen bilderna och övningarna från skolan. ABC-klubben är ett väl spritt läromedel i läs- och skrivinlärning för förskoleklass–årskurs 3. I den här lite-versionen av appen ingår första gruppen med bokstäver, OMAS. Ladda ned fullversionen för att få åtkomst till samtliga nivåer. Produktionsstöd till detta läromedel har erhållits från Specialpedagogiska skolmyndigheten. Upptäck också ABC-klubbens övriga appar: ABC-korsord, ABC-memo, ABC-domino samt den mer omfattande ABC-klubben.
