The benefits of listening while reading for dyslexic and non-dyslexic English language learners

One of the frequently offered types of support for dyslexic students is to allow them to listen to the text while they read. In our research, we investigated the effect of read-aloud assistance on young English learners’ comprehension scores. We also examined whether dyslexic students benefit from this assistance differently from their peers with no official identification of dyslexia. In this talk I will present the results of this research project and discuss the benefits of multi-modal text presentation as well as the use of universal design principles in inclusive language teaching.

The questions are clear. The answers aré muddled. This is really important.
So both reading and listening together are better for students with dyslexia when the text is difficult?
Less text on a slide and more pauses between sentences would help.

You mute your results and run them together. What was the outcome ? I still don’t know.
