Abstract
The stimulator system was designed to improve reading skills by displaying a combination of presentations and text in a visual form and in addition, transformed audio form which was shown alongside the relevant video material. The research described utilized a group of children (40 group participants) between the ages of 8–13 who displayed difficulties in reading or who were diagnosed with developmental dyslexia . The application showed that the proposed method improved the readings skills of the target group. By using the D2 attention exam implemented by R. Brickenkamp in its Polish form (created by E. Dajek) the effectiveness of this method was shown.
