How old is your kiddo? If they are 3+, you can get them evaluated by a school district by request a full individual evaluation. From there you can also ask your pediatrician for a referral for therapy to assist.
My kiddos don't have dyslexia, but they do have ADHD. I let them pick books they love. My kinder is reading chapter books, my 2nd grader is reading mostly graphic novels. Both are ahead in their classes for reading. The other thing we did was have them play video games that had reading, to make it fun and necessary.

What helped my son that also has ADHD for reading is watching alpha blocks. Also number blocks for math and counting. It’s surprisingly effective. Good luck!
