This experimental research centered on considering the effect of cognitive intervention instruction on the phonological awareness of Iranian dyslexic students at primary schools. For this purpose, 32 male and female students between 8 to 11 years of age with 90 to 110 IQs average, were purposefully selected from primary schools and randomly assigned to a control group and an experimental group. Wechsler Intelligence test (WIT), Karami and Noori (KNT) test, and a cognitive intervention package were used as tools in this research. Then, to check the participants’ phonological awareness, (KNT) measurement was applied to the students. The covariance analysis of the resultant data showed that this package was effective on the phonological awareness of the experimental group after receiving the cognitive intervention package in contrast to the control group. The independent sample t-test also showed that there was no statistically meaningful difference between dyslexic male and female students in the experimental group regarding phonological awareness. The findings recommend that instructors at primary schools should teach the students to use cognitive intervention programs in phonological awareness to accelerate and do their more effective homework and develop productive insights into their phonological awareness. پرونده مقاله

This experimental study aimed at discovering the impact of Metacognitive Intervention Program instruction on the reading advancement of Iranian dyslexic primary school learners. The participants consisted of 32 male and female, grade three primary school students, with the age range of 8 to 11 years and 90 to 110 IQ average. They were selected through convenient sampling and divided into two control and experimental groups of equal size. Then, the experimental group was exposed to the Metacognitive Intervention Program instruction for 10 weeks. Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and Dyslexia and Reading (NEMA) tests were used as instruments. To evaluate the participants’ reading progress, a pre-test and a post-test (NEMA) were conducted. The results of covariance analysis showed that the employed program was effective in the reading comprehension development of the participants. The findings of this study suggest that primary school instructors need to think more about using the Metacognitive Intervention Program instruction on different steps of reading comprehension and do more effective activities to assist students in removing their reading difficulties. پرونده مقاله

This experimental study investigated the effectiveness of Cognitive Intervention Training on Iranian Elementary School Students’ Reading Performance with Dyslexia. This study was a pre-test and post-test research with a control group. The participants included male and female elementary school students in the third grade in Koudasht - Iran. Thirty-two dyslexic students with an average IQ between 90 to 110 were the sample in this study. They ranged in age from eight to eleven. They were randomly selected. The participants were equally divided into control and experimental groups. The instruments utilized in this study were Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children (WITC), Reading and Dyslexia Test (NEMA), and Cognitive Intervention Training Program. For ten weeks, this program was provided to the experimental group. The test (NEMA) was administered among students to measure their reading performance in pre-and post-tests. Descriptive statistics and covariance analysis showed a meaningful difference between the two groups after applying for the cognitive training at p ˂ 0.01. After receiving cognitive intervention training, experimental students improved their reading performance. The dependent sample t-test also revealed this program was influential in the students’ reading performance with Dyslexia, particularly, on reading words, chain words, words, and text comprehension components. The findings propose that teachers consider this program on different learning steps and prepare more effective activities to help students improve their performance on reading difficulties. پرونده مقاله
