Abstract :
This paper explains SAMO, an educational game for Spanish orthography. The game is an evolution of MITO, which was evaluated with real students. Using information obtained from this evaluation, which highlighted some shortcomings from the pedagogical and access point of view, a new game has been developed, using a new architecture, with a new teaching methodology and accessibility features.
