Dyslexia can be an immensely frustrating disorder to deal with. In many cases, children with dyslexia can become easily agitated when they aren’t able to do a simple task because of this disorder, particularly because it’s harder for them to put things in the right order. This video hones in on a specific difficulty that, while natural for many people, some dyslexics have trouble with: tying their shoes.
Many dyslexics have trouble handling laces on their shoes, and have to expend much of their energy and focus on that task rather than many more important ones. As such, a simple way to help a dyslexic child focus energy onto other tasks could be to use a different type of shoe, such as velcro, which doesn’t require shoelaces. Choosing the right shoes is a simple but effective energy saver for dyslexics, reducing stress, and keeping their focus in reading.
There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”

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.
