Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting about 5% of all students. Usually diagnosed in middle school, some students are placed in Special Education classes. Unfortunately, this may have the unfortunate side-effect of creating self-esteem issues. With that in mind, schools need to find more creative ways to address dyslexia in ways that prevent this loss of self-esteem.
This video seeks to find these ways to teach dyslexic students. The main idea is that schools in general need more funding, specifically for diagnoses and greater teacher training. In particular, teachers should be able to attend workshops and seminars to teach them how to accommodate the needs of dyslexic students at school. This would be a great asset for dyslexic students without always pursuing special education classes.
There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”

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.
