Introduction: Working memory is the capacity to store and control information for a short period of time. This memory is closely related to reading and other academic skills such as spelling, comprehension and mathematics. This study aimed to compare working memory in normal versus dyslexic children. Materials and methods: This was a descriptive-analytic study. Dyslexic group included 30 children randomly selected from the Learning Disability Center of Semnan Department of Education.

Phonological working memories such as Word Recall, Digits Recall and Non-word Repetition were used for assessments.
