Rating:  - This should be how all children are taught to read!!!
If we started at the kindergarten level with Dr. Davis' techniques - there would never be another dyslexic. These techniques are so easy to implement and so effective, it is astonishing.

Rating: - Absolutely Brilliant!
Whether you are a professional educator, parent, or just interested in the world of dyslexia, this book is a wonderfully eye opening read. It shows how dyslexia is not a learning disorder, but a different way of processing information. An excellent book!
Rating: - This Book Was God's Gift to Us...!

We tried some traditional/professional approaches -- no results. We ... Read More
Rating: - DYSLEXIA IS TRULY A GIFT!
After 18 months of my son's "hatred" of school, daily emotional melt downs, testing by psychologists with wrong diagnoses, a wonderful developmental optometrist, counseling, medication trials with bad side effects, hours of searching on the internet, reading book after book on ADHD, and school meetings at nauseam . . .

Rating:  - Very informative
I found this book very insightful to the multitude of ways that Dyslexia can affect a student's life. While I didn't find the process for re-teaching a Dyslexic how to focus and read helpful or applicable to my situation, It did help me to see inside of what causes my children difficulty in reading and writing.
