In this article we present case studies of activities in third grade that were adapted for children with reading and writing disorder. We executed these activities with pupils during regular and/or during supplementary lessons, however they’re also suitable as a preparation for regular lessons. While preparing different activities we used several computer programs such as StoryboardThat (to support text with images), XMind (to create mind patterns with key concepts and data), PowerPoint (to prepare exercises for revising reading techniques), Quia (to help edit sequences of events), and Google Drive (to guide pupils while reading). Although reading and writing were in focus of individual activities, pupils were highly motivated for work, while usually that’s a big obstacle if conventional teaching approach is applied. At the same time, we’ve also indirectly developed pupils’ other skills necessary for digital literacy.
