ABSTRACT

In this study, we developed a program in which various evidence based reading skills and strategies are applied to game activities for the children with reading difficulties. In study 1, twelve children selected from elementary classrooms and an after school study group, who have decoding skills but difficulties in understanding texts participated as an experimental and a control group. In study 2, twelve children with reading difficulties selected from an after school study group and assigned to two groups: a high IQ and a low IQ group, participated in the game reading program. Reading skills and strategies transformed into game acitivities are: repetition, reading with pause, making image, predicting the next story, question making, story mapping, analysis of grammatical constituents, and understanding themes. To sum up the results of the study 1 and study 2, the game reading program increased the children's attention span and reading capabilities.
