Reading app trial aims to boost literacy in kids with dyslexia
NCT ID NCT04568824
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a computer program called GraphoLearn, designed to improve reading skills in children aged 6 to 10 with reading disabilities. Researchers will compare reading gains in children who use GraphoLearn versus those who use a math program. The goal is to see if the app works and what factors predict success, potentially offering a low-cost, home-based solution for struggling readers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GraphoLearn reading intervention (a computer program that teaches reading skills)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward an effective, low-cost reading intervention that families can use at home to help children with reading disabilities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively early-stage study (Phase NA) with 450 participants. The intervention is a computer program, so results may vary widely, and it may not work for all children. The study is not yet recruiting, so results are pending.
