Kinect-Based Learning Games for Dyslexic Children

Abstract

Dyslexia is a developmental disorder of reading and writing that generally found in children from 7 to 8 years old. Learning difficulty in reading fluency and difficulty in understanding normally or above average are the characteristics of children with developmental disorders. This study aims to build a game that can be easily utilized to introduce letter types and several techniques of reading with the correct spelling attached to pictures of each spelling. This educational game is Kinect-based so it is interesting and interactive for users and can help children with dyslexia in the process of learning reading. The research method used is the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle). The study also studies students' ability to recognize numbers. Based on interviews with teachers, students did not recognize all forms of numbers. The result of this study is the design of an educational game that is expected to help to improve the fluency of reading in dyslexic children.
