Brief Summary

"After summer break, the reading performance of dyslexic children declines more than those of non-dyslexic children. Indeed, during the summer, dyslexic children are less inclined to read and their consultations with speech therapist are usually suspended. Intensive speech therapy programs proved to be efficient during the summer, to maintain reading level of dyslexic children. However these programs are expensive and not easy to generalise. Some other studies tested reading therapy programs applied by parents at home. It proved to be effective and feasible. Thus, the hypothesis of the present study is: a parent-administered reading therapy program during the summer break could stabilise the reading performance of dyslexic children after the summer. On the contrary the investigators assume the control group reading performance would decrease."

Conditions

Dyslexia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Measuring program effectiveness on reading performance (accuracy and speed of word reading)

  Word Reading performance with French BALE Test. BALE (Batterie Analytique du Langage Ecrit). Measure of number of correct words read and speed of reading. Raw score for word reading performance (accuracy) : minimum 0 (worse outcomme, maximum 20 (better outcome)

  4 weeks
