Dyslexia is a learning disorder in which individuals have significant reading difficulties. Previous studies found that using machine learning techniques in content supplements is vital in adapting the course concepts to the learners' educational level. However, to the best of our knowledge, no research objectively applied machine learning methods to adaptive content generation. This study introduces an adaptive reinforcement learning framework known as RALF through Cellular Learning Automata (CLA) to generate content automatically for students with dyslexia. At first, RALF generates online alphabet models as a simplified font. CLA structure learns each rule of character generation through the reinforcement learning cycle asynchronously. Second, Persian words are generated algorithmically. This process also considers each character's state to decide the alphabet cursiveness and the cells' response to the environment. Finally, RALF can generate long texts and sentences using the embedded word-formation algorithm. The spaces between words are proceeds through the CLA neighboring states. Besides, RALF provides word pronunciation and several exams and games to improve the learning performance of people with dyslexia. The proposed reinforcement learning tool enhances students' learning rate with dyslexia by almost 27% compared to the face-to-face approach. The findings of this research show the applicability of this approach in dyslexia treatment during Lockdown of COVID-19.
