Presenting Dyslexia

Eight to ninety percent of student with learning disabilities struggle with dyslexia and dyslexia is linked to genetics.

Presenting Dyslexia
Five to ten percent of Americans are dyslexic, or at least have symptoms of dyslexia. There are a lot of different symptoms and people can have them to varying degrees. Difficulty in reading, or writing, or spelling are signs that you have dyslexia. If you have a hard time with oral, or written instruction then you also might be experiencing dyslexia. If they are easily distracted, then you might also have dyslexia. Delayed speech is another sign.

Key takeaways

  1. A sign of dyslexia for preschool aged kids is when they cannot recognize when two words rhyme.
  2. A grade school kid might forget how to spell a word right after learning it and that is a sign of dyslexia.
  3. A sign of dyslexia for a high school student would be when they skip different words when reading out loud.

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.
