    T his study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Phonological Awareness Training (PAT) on visuospatial working memory of 3rd grade students with written expression disorder. The study design was quasi-experimental with a pretest, posttest, and control group. Thirty students were randomly selected and evaluated by the Writing Expression Test (Fallahchai, 1379), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Wechsler, 2000), and the Visuospatial Working Memory Test (Cornoldi & Viecchi, 2004). They were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (each consisted of 15 individuals). The experimental group participated in 13 sessions and was trained by the phonological awareness program but control group participated in the regular school program. All subjects were evaluated after the 13th session and two months later. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance and repeated measurement analysis of variance. The findings showed that 32% of variation in improvement of visuospatial working memory of the experimental group has been due to the phonological awareness intervention and lasted after two months (P<0.001). Based on the results the Phonological Awareness Training leads to  JIP Aug 2019 SS.docx JIP Aug 2019 SS.docxpromoted visuospatial working memory of experimental group, and its effects lasted for two months. Therefore, the implementation of the Phonological Awareness Training is worthwhile for promoting the visuospatial working memory of the students with written expression disorder.   Manuscript profile
