The effectiveness of storytelling based on multi-sensory method on emotional processing in children with dyslexia in

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of storytelling based on a multi-sensory method on emotional processing in children with dyslexia in primary school children of Tabriz. The research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population of this study included all elementary students with dyslexia from which thirty people were randomly selected from schools. After conducting an interview to ensure the test results, the participants were randomly divided into one experimental group (N=15) and a control group (N=15). The experimental group participated in nine 20-minute sessions in which storytelling was performed with a combination of Fernald's multisensory approach. To collect data, the emotional processing scale of Bucker et al., (2007) was used. Data analysis was performed using Covariance analysis in SPSS software. According to the findings of Covariance Analysis and testing of the hypotheses of this research, it was determined that implementation of storytelling method based on multi-dimensional has a significant impact on emotional processing and its components (harassment, repression, lack of awareness, lack of control, separation, and avoidance) of children with dyslexia. We can reinforce emotional processing and its components in children through using this method.
