| Objective: The effect of electronic puzzles on the reading performance of students with dyslexia in Gorgan, Iran was examined. Method: The present applied study used a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of 255 female students with dyslexia aged 7-10 years visiting Shokoofa and Dena state-run clinics and Hekmat and Baran private clinics in Gorgan. A sample of 40 was selected, and 20 students were randomly allocated to the experimental and 20 to the control group. The data collection tool was NEMA reading test (Kormi, Moradi & Akbari, 2002) and the intervention tool was Tetris electronic game played for six sessions of 30 minutes for four weeks. Results: The analysis of covariance showed that electronic puzzles significantly improve the reading performance of female students with dyslexia. Conclusion: Electronic puzzles have the greatest impact on the components of "picture naming”, “reading comprehension”, and “word reading”. Thus, this intervention can be used for improving reading. |
