"Space Invaders Game Boosts Reading Skills in At-Risk Preschoolers"
A study found that preschoolers at risk for dyslexia who played "Space Invaders Extreme 2" for 45 minutes a day, four times a week, over 1.5 months showed significant improvement in phonemic awareness compared to those who underwent traditional speech therapy or played other non-action games. The research suggests that action video games could be an effective tool for early intervention in children at risk for dyslexia and potentially other neurodevelopmental disorders.
