Abstract
One of the most common learning disabilities that affect students when learning a language is dyslexia. It affects reading, writing, and word comprehension that can limit students’ learning, so it is vital that teachers can be prepared to teach English to dyslexic students, applying strategies and adapted activities to ensure inclusive education. This study aimed to design an interactive instructional module for elementary English teachers called “Dealing with dyslexia”. For this, the ADDIE model guided the proposal development through five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Then, a quantitative methodology was applied in order to present the proposal validation. A checklist was used to measure how well the module was developed and whether it met the necessary aspects like: accessibility, interactivity, clarity of instructions, educational content, instructional design and presentation, to be used for teacher training. Five experts in the field of education and learning difficulties contributed to the validation of the proposal. The findings showed that the Mean Score was 26.2 out of 30 (87%), reflecting strong perceived quality; the general standard deviation was 0.34, showing consistent agreement; and the Content Validity Index (CVI) reached 0.90, confirming the items' relevance and clarity. The study concludes that the module is deemed suitable for implementation, having met key instructional requirements validated by an expert consensus.
