Teaching Sentence in Hindi and Bangla with An Assistive System to The Children with Dyslexia

Abstract

Reading is an essential component of language skills. But with dyslexia, people face difficulty in reading. As it is a language-based disability, it can be found while reading any language. In the case of Bangla and Hindi, the presence of diphthongs, triphthongs, and nasal vowels increase the difficulty. To address these problems and help the children with dyslexia to read sentences in Bangla and Hindi, the proposed system was developed to offer reading through a multisensory teaching approach using seeing, hearing, speaking, and writing. It teaches sentences using a word-by-word manner, which increases the effectiveness of learning. The proposed system makes the learning experience interactive by offering a feedback mechanism that uses three measures, reading accuracy, writing accuracy, and response time. For each sentence, the response time is being stored in the database in the form of a chart for future evaluation of the user. Using a multisensory teaching approach, the proposed system helps the special educators by reducing their effort, and the performance chart will help the educators to design the future lesson plan for the user.
