Abstract

The main goal of the present study was to examine the effects of multisensory-based instruction combined with brain-compatible environment techniques on the reading fluency and comprehension of Arabic 4th grade students with dyslexia. Participants were 38 students with dyslexia, divided into two groups: one with 18 students who received intervention (experimental group), and the other with 18 students who received no intervention (control group). The Reading Fluency Test and Reading Comprehension Test were used to measure reading fluency and comprehension in pre- and post-tests. The training was conducted in the experimental group with dyslexia in 70 training sessions. Results showed that there were statistically significant differences in post-tests of reading fluency and reading comprehension between the control and the experimental groups, in favour of the experimental group, and statistically significant differences in the experimental group between the results of the pre- and post-tests, in favour of the post-test of reading fluency and reading comprehension. The discussion focuses on future directions for research on reading interventions for dyslexic students.
