Abstract

Improving motivation to read is an important step toward improving reading fluency among children with dyslexia. We describe a test of the RAFT dyslexia fluency tutor which dynamically generates an interactive story by assembling pre-written scene templates in response to user-chosen plot events. Results suggest that interactivity improved voluntary reading, relative to non-interactive versions of the story.
