In this study, the researcher used multi-sensory teaching methods to design three digital story books as teaching materials in order to enhance the reading abilities of children with reading disabilities.

It is hoped that through the interactive reading practices, students with reading difficulties can be improved in those aspects. The results showed that digital story books teaching for dyslexic children learning attitude has improved significantly. All students gave the teaching with digital storybooks positive feedbacks and said that they like such learning method. They all hope to apply it to other subjects.
