Experimental group was educated using researcher-made tool in 1.5-hour sessions over three months.For data collection, the fourth edition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children, dyslexia test and neuropsychological tests of Connors were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (analysis of variance with repeated measures). <strong>Findings:</strong> Data analysis showed that educational package of cognitive plays are effective in improving neuropsychological performance of dyslexic students (pConclusion: educational package of cognitive plays can be an effective therapeutic approach to improve the neuropsychological skills of dyslexic students. <strong>Introduction:</strong> Cognitive Neurosciences and reading have close relationship with each other.
