This paper investigated the effectiveness of Orientation and Symbol Mastery upon the quality of reading in dyslexic boy students. This is an experimental study with a pretest and posttest design and a control group.

The instruments of the research were Wechsler’s children intelligence scale and Kariminoori and Moradi reading test and dyslexia.

According to the results of the research, it can be said that the intervention of orientation and symbol mastery can be effective in teaching dyslexic people how to read.
