Answer 1

The best thing would be to go see your doctor but go try finding a book you would like to read first like chose one based upon the kind of movies you like I recommend Phillip Pullman's: Dark Materials

Answer 2

I don't think you have ADD, it would effect your behavior a lot more than your learning. But you migh want to check for dislexia, which makes it difficult to read by mixing up numbers and letters. So rather than focusing on memorizing it, you will focus on reading it correctly. Stay after school and work on it.
