Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the improvement of reading ability and cognitive performance of children with reading difficulties through a Web application named "Poke the Reading Ability" (PtRA). PtRA is designed to assist the intervention of reading difficulties in Greek, a language that is more transparent than English. Sixty (60) children between nine (9) to twelve (12) years old (mean age 10.18 years). The baseline assessment consisted of two batteries of reading and cognitive abilities tests. Test-A, a Greek standardized psychometric tool and Askisi, a newly developed neuropsychological battery of tests are adopted to assess reading and cognitive performance. Both tools, were used in order to screen children's reading and cognitive performance before and after implementing the PtRA. The PtRA Web intervention consists of (a) tasks that focus on improving visual and auditory working memory, (b) tasks that improve phonological awareness and decoding, (c) tasks that are adopted to strengthen visual discrimination ability and (d) tasks that improve reading comprehension ability. Following the Web delivered intervention program the results revealed that the reading and cognitive abilities of children with reading difficulties were statistically significant improved in all 9 reading and all 3 cognitive abilities tasks.

基于阅读和认知任务的网络干预计划对阅读困难儿童的有效性。

本研究旨在调查通过名为 "Poke the Reading Ability"（PtRA）的网络应用程序提高阅读困难儿童的阅读能力和认知表现的情况。PtRA 的设计目的是帮助干预希腊语阅读障碍，因为希腊语比英语更通俗易懂。六十（60）名九（9）至十二（12）岁的儿童（平均年龄为 10.18 岁）接受了测试。基线评估包括两组阅读和认知能力测试。Test-A是希腊标准化的心理测量工具，Askisi是新开发的神经心理测试，用于评估阅读和认知能力。使用这两种工具是为了在实施 PtRA 前后对儿童的阅读和认知能力进行筛查。PtRA 网络干预包括：(a) 侧重于改善视觉和听觉工作记忆的任务；(b) 改善语音意识和解码的任务；(c) 加强视觉辨别能力的任务；(d) 改善阅读理解能力的任务。网络干预计划实施后，结果显示，在所有 9 项阅读任务和 3 项认知能力任务中，阅读困难儿童的阅读能力和认知能力都有了统计学意义上的显著提高。
