In the unique video, My life as a dyslexic, Charli writes about the challenges she faces, not only in school, but social as well. We learn about her struggle to find her way around the words on a page so they make sense.
It’s almost like breaking a code. She shares her feelings and what happens when she gets too stressed out. At the end of the video we learn more about dyslexia and how it affects those who have it.
Dyslexics Typically Have Normal or Above Normal Intelligence
Charli has normal to above normal intelligence but her brain functions differently than ours. Everyday is she has hurdles to overcome, but somehow remains positive. She’s not alone and enjoys hearing about or meeting others with this affliction. And there are many more like her out there needing to be understood.
It’s important to both build up weak skills and also capitalize on strong skills. Give dyslexics the help they need.
Key takeaways
- Time is the best thing you can give a dyslexic
- All dyslexics have strengths. Find them!
- Dyslexics don't see backwards
Take the dyslexia test
Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
