Online published on 13 November, 2019. Abstract Dyslexia is a specific learning disability in reading, writing and spelling which are not linked to intelligence. Learning application can be utilized as a gadget to help students with dyslexia (SwD) in alleviating their difficulties. The purpose of this study is to provide a review on learning applications, evaluation of application usability and effect of the application towards dyslexic's performance. Twenty articles retrieved from electronic databases on learning application for SwD published between 2012 to 2018 were selected and reviewed systematically. There were seventeen learning applications for dyslexia and five were related to English Language. Children were eager to explore the learning application and enjoyed using it. Most of these studies revealed significant improvement in reading, spelling and writing after using the learning application. Evaluation aspect is beneficial to researchers in developing learning application in future. Top Keywords Learning application, dyslexia, learning disability. Top |
