For mothers with dyslexic sons, it’s easy to see your child struggle with losing confidence and feeling like a failure due to their disorder. Fortunately, Michael Clark of Dyslexia Improvements hopes to let you, a child’s mother, look inside of your son’s head and understand what he’s going through.
In this video, Clark provides some tips on speaking to your son to make sure you’re heard and help him succeed.
In most cases, your son doesn’t want to be nurtured or consoled, he just wants to win and focus on the main things. Sometimes a different approach is needed in encouraging a dyslexic son to pursue learning.
There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”
Use our simple online analysis tool to help you find what areas need strengthened.
Key takeaways

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.
