According to Susan Hall on SchwabLearning: "The three key research conclusions that support seeking help early are: - 90 percent of children with reading difficulties will achieve grade level in reading if they receive help by the first grade. - 75 percent of children whose help is delayed to age nine or later continue to struggle throughout their school careers. - If help is given in fourth grade, rather than in late kindergarten, it takes four times as long to improve the same skills by the same amount.

He can do it if he wanted to. He's just lazy. You forgot the ones that parents of kids with dyslexia and related learning differences hear the most often:
