About Us
Bingo Books is an educational publisher dedicated to bringing quality
reading products to schools and families in both English and Spanish.
The reading software develops skills that are crucial to a child’s
mastery of reading, including vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency.
Bingo Books was inspired by the daughter of founder,
Dahr Jamail. Dahr and co-founder, Fred Fletcher, noticed that despite
her dyslexia, his daughter excelled at karaoke. They found she could
read the text smoothly and even pronounce unfamiliar words as each word
lit up on the screen. The two began researching the effects of highlighted
text in reading development and discovered it was a powerful tool.
During the course of their research, Dahr and Fred heard time and time
again of the great need for quality bilingual education products. Bingo
Books decided to fill this need by developing bilingual software that
was more than just a translation of the English version. The Spanish-language
software features a quality retelling of classic fairy tales, instead
of word-by-word translations that often lose their original meaning.
The end result is complete parity with the English-language product.
Every detail of the software, from the artwork to the engaging, classic
text and songs, is approached with an eye for quality and efficacy.
Bingo Books seeks out the latest information and research in education
to ensure all products are the best available.
The company is currently expanding its product line to include a non-fiction
biography series for 3rd through 5th grade readers, available in the
fall of 2006.
