Features JuegoConCrin

A great app that kids will love to play with an interactive friend and learn to read while playing.This application is part of an investigation, the results of which can be seen in the magazine: IE Comunicaciones: Revista Iberoamericana de Informática Educativa, whose link is: https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=8732467A more extensive description of the application can be seen on the website https://juegoconcrin.webador.es/.This application has been developed thinking about the need of children to learn to read and how each one learns at different rates.So that they develop their reading comprehension playing, with an interactive friend who helps them when they cannot continue.
For this, the difficulty of reading increases, starting with phonemes, syllables, words and phrases.
The first four levels use a linked italic typeface, of which the first two levels are with uppercase letters, and the other two with lowercase letters, continuing with another two levels already in printing typeface, one in uppercase and the other in lowercase.To teach reading, a method called phonological awareness has been used, which is based on how the letters sound, instead of their names, which facilitates learning the sounds of the letters and therefore learning to read.In addition to this, there are a series of mini-games, so that they learn to discriminate between letters, to form words in different ways and to improve their learning.
These games are letter discrimination, matching images or sounds with words, letter bingo, picking the missing syllable, word search, hangman, and guessing a letter.
The objective of the games is to help the student to distinguish letters, words and sounds.
As the phonemes, syllables, words and phrases are read, the application requests confirmation that it has been done correctly, the last two show an image that represents said word.
All this accompanied by music to liven up learning.
In addition, the avatar can take different forms at the users choice.
The fundamental part of the game is the sections of Phonemes, Syllables, Words and Phrases.
The rest of the minigames serve to habituate and improve their understanding and discrimination of letters, syllables and words.Due to the different games implemented, the knowledge acquired and promoted in class can be reinforced.
The ability to make decisions is developed, being able to choose the games and the configuration of the avatar, the music and the background.The difficulty increases the more knowledge children have.This application can be used on mobile phones and tablets since it adapts to the dimensions of all of them.This application has been tested in an educational center in a kindergarten class, with very good evaluations by teachers and children.Thanks to https://patrickdearteaga.com/es/musica-libre-derechos-gratis/ for their great music and to https://pixabay.com/es/ for their great image bank.If you have any idea for improvement, you can write it to [email protected] and it will be evaluated and if it is viable implemented.
