Answer 2

You answered your own question.

Yes, dyslexic people often have a hard time learning to read, and tend to find it more difficult than average once they can read, but they CAN read.

One person I knew, for example, could not read quickly due to her dyslexia, but said that she retained what she read very well.

Answer 3

Sure, many people with dyslexia read and enjoy it very much.  Dyslexia is a general word that covers a wide range of disabilities... some of those disabilities are so severe that a person who can read chooses not to.  In most cases, the disability can be bothersome, but techniques can be learned to cope.  The most dyslexic student I ever had loved to read... but her brain received information different than most: everything she saw was upside down!  She easily learned how to compensate for this... she simply turned her books upside down to read them!

Answer 4

Yes you can.
