If reading is hard for your brain, AI can read TO you, help you type, and show words in ways that are easier to see.
Dyslexia means your brain reads differently. Letters flip, words seem to move, reading feels slow. You are not dumb. You are not lazy. Lots of brilliant people have dyslexia. You just need different tools.
If spelling is hard, use voice-to-text. Talk your thoughts out loud. The phone types them. Then ask AI to fix spelling without changing your ideas. The thinking is still yours. The typing is less stressful.
In the US, students with dyslexia can legally get accommodations - extra time on tests, audio textbooks, spell-check on writing. Ask your parents about an IEP or 504 plan if you have not already. AI tools are also allowed by most schools.
I have dyslexia. It is always going to be a challenge. You just have to work harder.
— Orlando Bloom
The big idea: if reading is hard, AI can read for you and help you write faster. Your brain still does the thinking, which is the part that matters.
