Children with specific reading disability often experience difficulties to recognise letter shapes and sounds, identify syllables, read words and understand sentences. Being able to read enables lifelong learning and serves as a source of knowledge. Yet, there are limited reading materials that includes children’s visual, audio, kinaesthetic and tactile skills. The objective of the study is to develop PHONIC4DYX kit by incorporating multisensory elements and technology to enhance consonant-vowel-consonant reading ability among children with dyslexia. Five students with dyslexia from Bangi Dyslexic Centre were chosen to take parts in this study. The implementation of PHONIC4DYX among the participants showed a positive effect on the participants in terms of reading CVC words. PHONIC4DYX is developed for children with dyslexia who has mastered phonic sound of letters but yet to master the blending of the sound to form words. It is suitable for children with dyslexia who have difficulties in identifying the letter sound, naming the letter sound and blending of the individual phonic sound.
