While it may seem simple, it’s the truth — for a child, having dyslexia is hard. This video features a boy and a girl discussing the challengings of learning with dyslexia, and how children with this learning disability — which causes difficulties reading — feel.
In the video, the interviewee explains the tools she uses that help her learn and the teaching strategies that are most effective for her. Because of her difficulties reading and speaking when words are usually mixed up, she uses highlighters, different sizes of font, and words that are properly spread out or spaced to help her percieve them better. These are just some of helpful tools and strategies that she found useful 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.
