Recent studies are assessing the potential of specific video games to improve reading skills in kids with reading difficulties. The findings indicate promising outcomes, with improvements observed in both reading skills and engagement levels. However, it is important to note that these studies lack robust methodologies, and the criteria used to identify children as dyslexic are either weak or not clearly specified. Therefore, more research is needed to support the use of any specific video games in intervention plans for children with dyslexia.[1] [2]
In addition, reading in a quiet environment, utilizing audiobooks alongside the written text, and breaking up longer texts into smaller sections are all strategies that can be employed by people with dyslexia to facilitate reading and improve reading skills.
