Evaluering af Doolexia

All children have the right to learn to read and spell, which is one of the most important goals of primary school education. Students with dyslexia have a particularly hard time spelling and "cracking the reading code," which can have significant consequences for their schooling and later in life. If students with dyslexia receive the necessary support early in school, it is expected that their difficulties can largely be prevented or reduced, allowing them to perform as well as possible.

This report evaluates the implementation and effects of Doolexia and shows positive and lasting effects on both students' spelling and reading skills. Doolexia is a school intervention aimed at students with dyslexia or other reading and spelling difficulties, with the goal of improving their spelling and reading levels. The intervention lasts 16 weeks and combines independent spelling and reading practice using a computer program with weekly group lessons. The intervention is structured in a manual-based format with weekly plans for group lessons and goals for daily practice. The intervention is evaluated through a randomized trial with a control group.
