This study aimed to assess the impact of online dyslexia training on the knowledge and beliefs of 64 pre-service special education and primary school teachers regarding dyslexia. The Scale of Knowledge and Beliefs about Developmental Dyslexia was utilised to gauge participants' understanding and perspectives on dyslexia. The training specifically targeted the enhancement of early literacy, reading fluency, and reading comprehension skills in children with dyslexia over 2 weeks. Results indicated a significant improvement in participants' knowledge and beliefs concerning dyslexia following the online training. These findings suggest that the online dyslexia training holds promise in enhancing pre-service teachers' grasp of dyslexia. The study discusses limitations and provides recommendations for future research to further refine online training strategies and address persistent challenges in assisting students with dyslexia.
