Effective Learning: Using Big6 Model via Multimedia Learning Approach on Improving Reading Comprehension of Primary School Children with Dyslexia (7 June 2018)

The project aims at improving reading comprehension of upper primary school students with dyslexia in Hong Kong. In this project, a problem-solving model namely Big Six model was used to increase students’ motivation and background knowledge about the reading materials. In order to detect the effectiveness more precisely, two standardized reading compression measurements were implemented before and after the intervention. One is for sentence comprehension and the other one is for text comprehension. Among this mini scale of QEF research, there were seven texts used during the experimental period and it showed a positive difference in the performance of 11 participants, especially on understanding of sentence comprehension.
