Back when I was a TA if a student had come to me with the problem you are describing and the compensatory technique you are using I'd tell them they might have mild to moderate dyslexia. If you're a university student you probably have access to a student support service that can assess you and advise you if that is the case. In the mean-time some people find using the [1] OpenDylsexic typeface helps and coloured overlays over text can be effective for some (Literally stick coloured acetate over what you're reading or change the font and background colours if on a screen). Other than that using various [2] notetaking methods will help with with both reading and retaining the knowledge. You're kind of already doing that with the slides BUT handwritten notes are generally more effective than notetaking on a computer.
