Message:
Abstract:
Background and Purpose: Dyslexia is one of the most common forms of learning disorders. Despite having normal IQ, receiving adequate training, and not suffering from audiovisual problems, children with dyslexia are not able to learn reading of words and letters through public school education. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Davis training method on the reading skills and creativity enhancement in boy students with dyslexia studying at the second and third grades of primary school.
Methods
This was an experimental study with pretest-posttest control group design. Research population included all students with dyslexia studying at the primary schools of Kerman in the academic year of 2015-2016. 30 students were selected through convenience sampling and then randomly assigned to either the experimental or the control group (n=15 per group). Raven Colored Progressive Matrices (Rahmani & Abedi, 2004), NAMA Reading Test (Karami Nouri & Moradi, 2008), and Figural Forms A and B of Torrance Creativity Test (2008) were used to collect data. At the beginning, these tests were performed for both groups, then the experimental group underwent fifteen 45-minute sessions of Davis training method. At the end, NAMA Reading Test and Form B of Torrance Creativity Test were performed for both groups. Data were analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
Results
Findings revealed that there was a significant difference in the reading skills of the experimental and control groups (p<.05).
Conclusion
According to the findings of this study, Davis training method improves the reading skills and creativity in the students with dyslexia.
