Abstract
The purpose this study was determining the effect of the selected movement program on reading comprehension and reading of seven to nine-year-old, dyslexic students. The target population included all seven- to nine-year-old dyslexic students of Ferdows. Participants assigned to three groups of selected exercises, experimental and control. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. Intervention applied in selected and experimental groups. The participants were evaluated in two phases before and after the training period. While two training groups were intervened based on their defined program; The control group didn’t do any training. The selected training program used based on the Blight approach(learn attention, balance and coordination) was designed and done in four weeks. In order to collect data related to reading disorders, the participants were asked to take a test one day before starting the exercises. Then the experimental groups participated in the selected movement training program for4weeks(12sessions) and the control group did not follow the targeted training program. each training session was approximately70minutes, which included 10 minutes of warm-up, 50minutes of stationary exercises (attention, balance and coordination practicing) and10minutes of cool-down. Descriptive statistics(mean and standard deviation) and due to the normality of data distribution, parametric tests and inferential statistics of one-way and multivariate covariance analysis used in this study. The results showed that the participants of the selected training group based on the Blight approach performed better than others in both task. The results confirm the selected exercises based on the Blight approach.
