This research examines whether children with Reading and Writing Difficulties (RWD) have auditory processing difficulties and investigates which educational therapy programs can effectively eliminate children's existing problems. Quantitative research was conducted, and a total of 30 children with an average mean of 84 months were added to the study, including Control 1 (non-RWD), Control 2 (RWD), and Experimental (RWD) groups. The Gazi Reading Writing Education Program (GRWEP), developed to overcome literacy problems, was applied to the experimental group for 12 weeks. The results were compared between the groups. The results of the experimental group's post-test showed a significant increase in literacy skills. The auditory processing tests were compared with the available data.
The results showed auditory processing difficulty impacts the ability to recognize the sounds of written words and reading learning. The study's findings revealed that the GRWEP method is effective in the educational therapy of children with reading and writing difficulties.
