1. Describe the general topic of interest.
 Dyslexia: a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence. According to the article Developmental dyslexia (2012) Work confirms that, neurobiological, dyslexia is characterized by dysfunction of the normal left hemisphere language network and also implicates abnormal white matter development. Studies accounting for reading experience demonstrate that many recorded neural differences show causes rather than effects of dyslexia.
2. Describe what work has been done in the field
A lot of work, research and experiment have been carried out and are still being carried out in this field to minimize or probably eliminate this disorder in general. According to the article Rhythmic auditory stimulation influences syntactic processing in children with developmental language disorders (Jan, 2013. pp. 121-131), Children with developmental language disorders have been shown to be impaired not only in language processing (including syntax), but also in rhythm and meter perception. Our study tested the influence of external rhythmic auditory stimulation (i.e., musical rhythm) on syntax processing in children with specific language impairment (SLI; Experiment 1A) and dyslexia (Experiment 1B).
3. Describe what work needs to be done, or what gaps exist in our knowledge.
According to “Neuropsychological treatment of dyslexia in the classroom” (Historically, there has not been a consistent and effective way to remediate dyslexia. This is primarily due to the difficulty in diagnosing severe reading difficulties, differences in learning, and the variety of deficits presented (Pennington, 1990). Dyslexia is now the commonly used term to describe severe reading delay.)
4. Discuss how your study will fill those gaps.
Building an educational game would most likely influence a positive and improved learning in children with dyslexic disorder. The article Neuropsychological treatment of dyslexia in the classroom setting (2001) states that, This study aimed at determining whether an intervention game developed for strengthening phonological awareness has a remediating effect on reading skills and central auditory processing in 6-year-old preschool children with difficulties in reading-related skills. After a 3-hour training only, these children made a greater progress in reading-related skills than did their matched controls who did mathematical exercises following comparable training format.
5. State your thesis as a prediction.
creating a game based learning for dyslexic children, would not only improve their skill educationally but also socially. The game would involve alphabetizing, building blocks from the scratch i.e. the skeletal system, and so on. My game based learning would focus more on children between the ages of 2 to 10.
