Others have already provided you with some good recommendations on products, so I'll just offer some words of encouragement. My oldest son also has dyslexia (as does his mom), and he struggled in school. Just stick with it and do the best you can. I think you're on the right path trying to keep it fun while he is young. As he gets older make sure that he practices reading every day. Lots and lots of practice really does help. My son is now in his 20s, and reading and academic based activities are still harder for him than they are for others, but it isn't the same struggle it once was. He now even reads books for fun. I've also seen stories about some kids with dyslexia, who with help from family and teachers, were able to go on and become physicians, MBAs, and pursue other careers that require lots of reading and academics, so don't let yourself get discouraged.
