Reading is a complex cognitive process essential for academic success and cultural access. Difficulties in reading can severely impact literacy and well-being. However, most serious games designed to help children at risk focus narrowly on phonological skills, neglecting visual and higher-order linguistic components. This paper introduces LetterShip, a serious game designed to provide comprehensive reading support by addressing the wide spectrum of processes underlying reading. The game features a two-stage architecture: Stage One builds foundational skills through visual, auditory, and multimodal training; Stage Two progresses from words to sentences, incorporating vocabulary, morphology, and syntax. A dynamic adaptive algorithm personalizes difficulty in real time based on the player’s performance, while all linguistic stimuli are systematically calibrated using psycholinguistic parameters. LetterShip provides a reading tool designed to be accessible without a prior diagnosis for typical learners and children with or at risk for dyslexia.

Puzzles are an excellent tool for learning computer science and programming, fostering increased interest, engagement, and motivation among students, as well as developing logical, critical, and computational thinking. Among beginner programmers, Parson's Programming Puzzles are quite popular, aimed at mastering the basic syntactic and logical constructs of programming languages. However, as students' skills grow, their ...

Dyslexia, a common learning disability, requires an early diagnosis. However, current screening tests are very time- and resourceconsuming. We present an LSTM that aims to automatically classify dyslexia based on eye movements recorded during natural reading combined with basic demographic information and linguistic features. The proposed model reaches an AUC of 0.93 and outperforms the ...

It is widely acknowledged that phonological processing skills are crucial for reading acquisition. While most research has focused on examining phonological processing in children, adolescents have remained underexplored. The present study aimed to assess phonological processing (PP) skills in Russian-speaking adolescents using the Changing Sound in Pseudoword test from the Russian Test of Phonological Processing ...

Specific reading disabilities (dyslexia) are a widespread problem: from 5 to 20% of the population
in different countries suffer from this impairment according to the research. For effective planning of intervention
programs for people with dyslexia, it is necessary to take into account a wide range of possible causes
of impairment of complex reading skills. Around the world, ...

The LexiaD font was developed for Russian-speaking people with reading disorders (dyslexia) (Alexeeva
et al., 2020). LexiaD demonstrated an advantage in letter feature extraction and information integration
over other modern Cyrillic fonts (PT Sans and PT Serif) while reading by primary school dyslexic and
non-dyslexic children. However, for dyslexic and non-dyslexic adolescents, the familiar Arial font was
more effective ...

From its very beginning, the field of game studies is haunted by the question of video game ontology: what is a game and what are its fundamental components? Numerous authors, such as Ian Bogost and Alex Gekker, have written on the impossibility of establishing an exhaustive ontology of games. At the same time, game design ...

The field of game design patterns has grown up rapidly because of the necessity of tools supporting game design process on video games, serious games and education. However the field does not address criticism from academia and industry such as fragmentation, lack of collaboration, inconsistent template, navigation and patterns contradiction which leads to incompatible pattern ...

Учитывая важность задачи своевременной диагностики нарушений чтения , активная работа по созданию и стандартизации русскоязычных тестов на чтение для детей ведется систематически. Однако трудности с чтением могут испытывать не только дети, но и взрослые. О распространенности дислексии у русскоговорящих взрослых до сих пор ничего не было известно в виду отсутствия стандартизированных тестов для выявления данного нарушения. ...

Растущий объём литературы указывает на то, что время является чрезвычайно важным фактором для процессов ней-ропластичности и для молекулярных механизмов, необходимых для обучения и памяти [1, 2]. Особый интерес приме-нительно к задачам коррекционного обучения представляет вопрос о выявлении временных параметров необходимой и достаточной первичной стимуляции, временных рамок, важных для перевода в долговременную память, и подходя-щих периодов ...

Agrammatism is a common symptom occurring in post-stroke aphasia and frequently addressed in traditional language therapy. However, most commercial serious games and mHealth applications aimed at independent aphasia treatment include only few, if any, tasks focusing on morphosyntax. “Training Impaired Grammar” (TIGr) is a project which attempts to fill the existing gap for Russian speakers ...
