Abstract

A neurobiological learning condition known as dyslexia manifests itself in reading difficulties that cannot be explained by impairments in intelligence, sensory processing, or brain function. The efficacy of computer programs in assisting dyslexic kids has been the subject of numerous studies, and this trend shows no signs of abating. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a computer program's efficacy in treating dyslexia in fourth graders from a cross-section of Jordanian schools. For the 2017–2018 school year, the research sample included ninety fourth graders. There were 35 pupils in the control group and 55 in the experimental group. To address the challenges of reading instruction, this study implemented a reading-skills program in schools. Since reading is an essential life skill, it was important to tailor the program to the needs of students with varying degrees of special education, including those who have learning disabilities and would benefit from individualized approaches to reading instruction. Consequently, the context of this study was the fundamental level of reading instruction for students with learning disabilities. Assist in meeting the educational needs of students with learning disabilities by equipping educators with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilize a computer program for reading instruction. This will allow for a more thorough understanding of the phenomenon of learning difficulties, particularly as they pertain to reading, as well as the factors that contribute to these difficulties and potential solutions.
