Abstract
This paper will describe the development of an educational game designed for children from 4 to 10 years old to help them learn the letters, writing and reading if they are dyslexic. If people with dyslexia have a proper way of learning letters, writing and reading, then their condition can be corrected up to 80%. Also, if learning patterns for dyslexic children are applied to all children, it helps the children to develop their own logic and conclusions. In this paper will be explained how learning style is correlated with methods for correction of dyslexia, how educational games could be used as alternative learning methods and how several findings on dyslexia are used in the process of defining the functionalities and design of the educational game presented in this paper. If this game is added to the elementary school curriculum, this game could be an additional tool in the teaching process. This game will be helpful to teachers and parents to present the process of learning the alphabet, reading and writing to the children in an interesting way, where children will have the opportunity to learn and have fun at the same time. With the development of this educational game for children with dyslexia, I will contribute to increasing the availability of assistive technologies designed for Macedonian language.
