population of the study included all students with reading disorders who referred to educational and
rehabilitation centers for special learning problems in the academic year of (2018-2019), in Ilam city which
a sample of 120 people was available by sampling method based on Morgan table and randomly selected.
The research instruments included the Wechsler Intelligence Scale (2003), the Jiva Executive Function
Questionnaire, Izguth and Kenworthy (2002), the Linkoln Osertsky Motor Development Test (1950), and the
Korami Nouri and Moradi Reading and Dyslexia Test (2008). Data were analyzed using structural equation
modeling and AMOS-21 software.
Results: The results showed that fine motor skills have a significant effect on reading skills of students with
reading disorders both directly and through executive functions (P <0.05).
Conclusion: This study confirms the positive and significant relationship between fine motor skills and
reading skills and the inverse and significant relationship between fine motor skills and executive functions
as well as the inverse and significant relationship between executive functions and reading skills. Therefore,
