Participants were three children with reading pronunciation difficulties in phonological processing. The following conclusions were arrived. First, three children are improved on tensifiication, palatalization, and lateralization by multisensory treatment program. Second, multisensory treatment was effective in facilitating generalization. Three children presented prominent generalization effcects in lateralization. Third, they were found to maintain partially their performance rates of the later phase of the reading with phonological processing intervention three weeks after the termination of the intervention.
