Abstract

Despite a long history of scientific studies, dyslexia still remains dramatic educational and social problem. Among the remedial reading instruction methodologies, two fundamentally different strategies are usually applied: to ease the basic instructions and supplement them by bootstrapping exercises and to apply the alternative strategy for syllable-blending and word-decoding. We aimed at developing a digital application that would provide alternative and easier way to reading acquisition for the reading-disabled children. As a result, the Web-based learning tool (WEBLET) was developed for the remedial treatment of Russian-speaking dyslexics. In the current paper, we present its architecture, methodological background, and the first results of its piloting in poor readers with learning disability. The study confirmed that the implicit learning and an acquisition of the procedural knowledge helped children with reading disorder.
