Sonata: um aplicativo para auxiliar crianças com dislexia na associação de grafemas e fonemas

Abstract

Sonata is a mobile game developed to assist children with auditory dyslexia in the process of literacy-writing through the association of graphemes and phonemes. From then on, the apprentice's time and course are respected by allowing the child to learn from repetition and changing levels of difficulty according to their evolution in this competence. Its project considered the analysis of four solutions with a similar purpose and meets a set of recommendations from the Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force (Accessibility Guidelines Working Group; W3C). For its implementation, the Sisalfa API was used, which provides a multimedia database with the ability to group words by context, allowing the customization of the game to the learner's interests. In order to find out about the adequacy of Sonata to its purpose of use, an initial survey was conducted where we obtained responses from parents of children with dyslexia and educators who work with dyslexia. After a first contact with Sonata, they were consulted to evaluate the app through a form. The initial result was positive, since everyone would recommend Sonata to other colleagues or parents.
