Assessment

Primary outcomes

In the primary analysis, we will first administer a letter recognition task as a baseline.
After that, participants will receive tactile recognition training once per day for three consecutive days.
We will evaluate the effect of tactile learning on letter recognition processing by comparing changes in letter recognition performance between groups.

Key secondary outcomes

for each letter recognition task, changes in performance before and after relearning were compared between the two groups to analyze the task-specific effects of tactile learning.

Interventions/Control_1

Tactile-learning group.
Children with developmental dyslexia will receive a learning program involving tactile recognition of letters and numerals combined with visual presentation.
The learning sessions will be conducted once per day for three consecutive days (three sessions in total).
Four types of letter-recognition tasks will be administered before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in performance.

Interventions/Control_2

Visual-learning-only group (control).
Children with developmental dyslexia will receive visual learning of letters and numerals without tactile training.
The learning sessions will be conducted once per day for three consecutive days (three sessions in total).
Four types of letter-recognition tasks will be administered before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in performance.
