This study investigated effective strategies for improving working memory and processing speed of students identified with dyslexia in Nigeria. The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design with the population made up of twenty four thousand seven hundred and twenty seven (24,727) senior secondary school students (S.S.2) in all the public secondary schools in Port Harcourt Rivers State Nigeria. The study adopted a purposive sampling method and three public schools were selected from the secondary schools in Phalga and Obio/Akpo LGA of Rivers State. The result proved that there is reasonable number of students suffering from dyslexia in Nigeria, and there is little or no attention given to the students living with dyslexia. Also, there is unchallengeable evidence that some students in Nigeria like other students in various parts of the world have dyslexia. The paper concludes by nothing that a child that has dyslexia may not outgrow it. But there are supports, teaching approaches, and strategies to help the child overcome the challenges.
