ABSTRACT

Dyslexia is a developmental learning disorder that hinders reading and spelling abilities in individuals. Identifying children with dyslexia for research and appropriate interventions has been a key focus in recent decades. This systematic review employs thematic analysis to explore current knowledge on dyslexia, including prevalence, identification, assessment, and interventions in children, aiming to enhance our understanding of dyslexia research. Recent research has made strides in refining methods for identifying and assessing dyslexia, although its precise prevalence remains challenging to determine. Evolving interventions offer significant support for children with dyslexia. However, there is room for improvement in dyslexia studies, necessitating broader international collaboration and increased research efforts to enhance identification, assessment, diagnosis, and intervention methods. The findings made valuable contributions to future research under the topic of children with dyslexia, providing in-depth insights for further exploration in the field of dyslexia.
