It is important to prepare a tool that enables the initial diagnosis of this disorder, and in the light of its results, a report is formulated on the degree of injury of the person being tested. Aims: The aim is to develop a reliable and validated tool for children with dyslexia. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select children aged 4-8 years as the study population. Inclusion criteria were (1) age between 4 and 8 years; (2) be able to speak; and (3) Keep attending kindergarten and school. Children's parents and teachers were given full information about the study, and all signed an informed written consent form. Ninety children were included in this study. Word spelling Test, Letter rapid automatized naming Test, Recognition of a first sound test, Deletion of a first sound test, Blending test, and Segmentation test was developed and used. Findings: The content validity of all tests was measured. The correlation coefficients between each subscale and the total scale ranged from 0.54 to 0.58. Conclusion: This tool is expected to assist teachers in identifying, accurately assessing, and formulating a learning program that fits the abilities and needs of the children. Keywords: Digital diagnosis tool, children, dyslexia, criteria, DSM-5. INTRODUCTION In the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – DSM-5 [1], dyslexia is labeled reading disorder (dyslexia) and is grouped together with mathematical disorders and disorders of written expression under the overarching diagnosis Specific Learning Disorder, which in turn is placed in the broader category of Neurodevelopmental Disorders. So, similar criteria DSM-5 will be our base for this digital tool. This disorder has a genetic root. For example, if parents have this disorder, there is a 40% chance that children will also be affected, which occurs in females and males [1-6]. Many children with this disorder have normal intelligence and receive appropriate education and parental support, but they find it difficult to learn some skills. Dyslexia is usually discovered at the age of enrollment of children in primary school, which is the age at which the child begins to learn to read [4]. It causes problems in reading, writing, and spelling, but the British Dyslexia Association, for its part, sees the state of dyslexia. Its effects are not limited to the ability *Address correspondence to this author at the Applied College, University of Tabouk, Tabouk, Saudi Arabia; Tel: +966 50 233 7126; E-mail: nbazuhair@ut.edu.sa to read and spell but also extend to the ability to coordinate things, organization, and memory, and specialists consider that the term "dyslexia" is too narrow to describe all learning difficulties and that Because learning difficulties are usually broader than just reading difficulties [3]. They have many types of knowledge. However, specialists also agree that "dyslexia" is the most famous LD and the one that attracts the attention of scholars because reading is the basic skill through which the student opens up in the early stages of his education towards many other skills and learns through them. Scholars also consider that the presence of several students who suffer from RD in the classroom causes problems for educators, many of whom still suffer from a lack of knowledge about the dimensions of the health problem and its causes [2,3]. Learning to read starts with memorizing the shape of the word. It is necessary to memorize the letters and know their shape, sound, and method of reading and writing. It is also possible and natural for the child to flip the shape of the letters. Close to each other in reading and writing, and sometimes they miss writing dots on the letters of the alphabet [4] The media in the Arab countries is almost devoid of material that seeks to raise awareness of "dyslexia" disorder and the way to deal with it, in light of the
