Studies have shown that music in the form of training (i.e., intervention) is able to facilitate linguistic processes (e.g., phonological encoding/decoding, categorical perception) and cognitive functions (e.g., working memory) in children that have dyslexia or reading difficulties. In addition to this, music trainings with a focus on entrainment can improve phonological as well as reading skills.~In line with the above, we have designed and developed a music training programme. This programme, which is called RitMoZ Training (i.e., from Ritmus és Mozgás és Zene: meaning Rhythm and Movement and Music in Hungarian language), is designed for (Hungarian) children who have dyslexia or reading difficulties.~In order to assess the efficacy of the music training, we are going to conduct a randomized controlled trial which consists of a pre-training phase, a training phase and a post-training phase.
With this study, we wish to test how effective/ beneficial music activities can be for children with dyslexia.
