    E-Learning that blends the internet, the web and the educational activities, is becoming one of the prominent ways for defining teaching and learning experiences as anywhere anytime process. Any teaching learning process must be designed to suit the needs of all and must consider all types of learners including people with disabilities.

In this regard, this paper focuses on the design of a summarization tool that provides a summary of reading material which helps the dyslexic to have a first level understanding of the content.
