It’s fairly well known that dyslexia is a chronic problem with reading, and a fairly common one afflicting a large portion of the population. But do you want to get the basics of dyslexia and what it means to live with it? This slideshow summarizes many of the most important facts and statistics about dyslexia. The video not only includes information about the basic symptoms, but also how to recognize dyslexia in young students.
While there are many difficulties involved with the disorder, dyslexia can be viewed positively as creating people who are highly creative, multidimensional thinkers, and excel at hands-on learning. They are usually good in arts, design, computing, and lateral thinking. The video even simulates what it’s like to read as a dyslexic person, and outlines tips, tricks and things to keep in mind for teachers and caretakers of dyslexic children to help them succeed.
There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”

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.
