ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a tremendous challenge to global society. During the pandemic, education is affected significantly due to school closures. In Hong Kong, the queue for the screening of dyslexia given by the government is longer than a year. Together with the outbreak of COVID-19, manual pre-screening of dyslexia became less accessible. Although there are various digital learning games for dyslexic students to learn Chinese, there is a lack of digital pre-screening tools for dyslexia in the Chinese context. Therefore, we have developed a digital tool to pre-screen dyslexia in Hong Kong. This study aims to examine which handwriting problems reveal symptoms of dyslexia and which characteristics of students are indicative of dyslexia. © 2021 IEEE.
