This is the kind of medical research kids dream of -- a study finds video games may help some children read better!
The study from Italy focused on children with dyslexia -- meaning they have difficulty with reading accuracy and comprehension.
After several 80-minute sessions of playing active video games, kids were able to read faster and accurately.
Researchers say more work needs to be done before recommending any type of "video game therapy" -- but suggest it offers hope for early intervention.
