Abstract: A reading courseware prototype, MyBaca is built for the purpose of assisting dyslexic children to improve their reading skills. MyBaca is an interactive application which is designed based on Affective Engineering (AE) Model and the needs and reading patterns of dyslexic children. The prototype has gone through the development and implementation phase. Hence, there is a need to evaluate MyBaca by looking at emotional responses from the users as it has never been evaluated before. Hence, the objective of this study is to evaluate the AE Model translated into the prototype in terms of its affective dimensions. This study presents a translation of facial expressions of the users into affective impressions while they are using the prototype. Observation has been performed using video recordings to record facial expressions and point of interactions of the users and the results are recorded in a printed form based on LEM tool. The results show that the users portrayed positive affective states while using the prototype hence confirming to the AE Model translated into the prototype.
