Tra le difficoltà dell’apprendimento della letto-scrittura, una delle principali consiste nella decifrazione dei gruppi consonantici. Molti bambini trovano difficile unire tra loro, leggere e scrivere le parole che contengono due o tre consonanti consecutive. L’app propone semplici esercizi di ortografia in cui è richiesto il completamento di parole contenenti lettere ponte* e sillabe inverse*. Negli esercizi, ogni parola è presentata mostrando l’immagine che la rappresenta e facendone ascoltare il suono. Il completamento avviene scegliendo la soluzione in un set chiuso di sillabe, senza limiti di ripensamento e correzione e con la possibilità di ripetere a piacere la presentazione (immagine/suono) di ogni parola. Ciascun esercizio è formato da liste di parole con caratteristiche omogenee (es. numero di sillabe o campo di appartenenza degli oggetti). Gli esercizi sono presentati in forma di semplice gioco, con diverse animazioni che sottolineano la presentazione, la risposta e i risultati, e con l’attribuzione di punteggi. In caso di errore, la “parola” generata dalla scelta non corretta viene ripetuta dall’app. La presentazione delle risposte in sillabe esercita la scansione della parola e ne preserva la struttura. Gli esercizi sono presentati in ordine di difficoltà leggermente crescente. *Le lettere ponte sono le lettere “L-R-M-N” quando precedono un’altra consonante e non generano una doppia, mentre si definisce inversa la sillaba iniziale di una parola formata da “vocale più consonante” (VC) , invertita rispetto alla corrispondente sillaba piana nella forma “consonante più vocale” (CV), che viene insegnata nelle prime fasi dell’apprendimento della letto-scrittura (esempio: “al”-to, “la”-to).
