Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of teaching based on the reading motivation model and teaching phono-graphix method on executive functions and reading performance in students with reading difficulties. The method of the current research was a semi-experimental type of pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population included all students (boys and girls) in the fourth and fifth grades of elementary school with reading problems in the city of Aligudarz who were studying in the academic year 2018-2019, and among them, 45 people (30 the experimental group and 15 people of the control group) were selected randomly as the sample size. The tools used in the research included the executive functions of Coolidge et al. (2002) and the reading and dyslexia test (NAMA) by Korminuri and Moradi (2004). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (univariate covariance analysis). The results of the research showed that there is no significant difference between the educational packages used in the research on the variables.
