Game on: computer program boosts reading in kids with language disorder
NCT ID NCT05295472
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an online reading game called Grapholearn helps Swedish children with developmental language disorder (DLD) improve their reading skills. 67 children played the game for 5 weeks, and their progress was compared to children who played a math game or attended regular school. The goal was to see if the game could boost word and nonword reading accuracy.
