MY CHILD struggles to read,

is it dyslexia?

As parents, few things are more difficult than watching our child struggle, especially when we know how bright and capable they are. At The Brain Accelerator, we regularly speak with parents who are concerned about their child’s reading progress and who quietly wonder: “Could this be dyslexia?”

You might have noticed these signs in your child:

  • Reads slowly or avoids reading altogether

  • Has trouble sounding out unfamiliar words

  • Confuses letters or sounds (like “b” and “d” or “p” and “q”)

  • Had speech or language delays earlier on

  • Spells words inconsistently or phonetically

  • Struggles to remember what they just read

  • Reverses letters or numbers when writing

If several of these symptoms feel familiar, your child may be exhibiting signs of a reading disorder, such as dyslexia. But more important than the label is understanding why your child is struggling.

As shown in The Matthew Effect, children who fall behind in reading early tend to fall even further behind over time. The gap between good and poor readers widens significantly with age, making early intervention crucial. You may hear things like, “I hate reading,” “I’m dumb,” or “Why is this so hard for me?”—not because they’re lazy or unmotivated, but because they’re overwhelmed. If your child gets upset during homework, avoids books, or acts out when it’s time to read or write, the issue might not be behaviour—it could be a processing difficulty. Many traditional reading programs fail to produce lasting results because they focus on teaching reading skills without addressing the underlying cognitive skills that support them.

Our Cognitive Skills Assessment pinpoints the real reason behind your child’s struggles—poor working memory, weak attention, or slow auditory processing—and gives you a clear, natural path forward (without relying on medication or just classroom accommodations).

Let’s close the gap before it grows.
