"Dog my is" and then he'll correct himself but it still is hard on him because he's afarid to read outloud is this dyslexia? or does he just need to slow down with reading? I want to help him...!!!

What you have described so far is NOT dyslexia. Everyone is always so quick to lable a percieved learning disability as dyslexia and only 5% of children actually have TRUE dyslexia. This is an explanation of dyslexia.

Inability to recognize words and letters on a printed page
A reading ability level well below the expected level for the age of the child
Children with dyslexia commonly have problems processing and understanding what they hear. They may have difficulty comprehending rapid instructions, following more than one command at a time or remembering the sequence of things. Reversals of letters (b for d) and a reversal of words (saw for was) are typical among children who have dyslexia. Reversals are also common for children age 6 and younger who don't have dyslexia. But with dyslexia, the reversals persist.

Children with dyslexia may fail to see (and occasionally to hear) similarities and differences in letters and words, may not recognize the spacing that organizes letters into separate words, and may be unable to sound out the pronunciation of an unfamiliar word.

That can be Dysexia. It can affect speech. I had similar speech problems that we connected to auditory reversals Report It

well... i think it is..
dyslexia is where some one mixes up letters and words

this is dyslexia. I have a sibling in my family that has take him to a counseler that can teach him ways to deal with. My sibling deals with it with the technique sshe learned.
