Unlock Your Child's Potential with The Gift of Dyslexia by Ronald D. Davis, Ph.D.

RobinRobin: It came with a $5.99 price sticker and I paid over double that, and it was in terrible condition.

Crafter: Dyslexia is truly a gift! Mr. Davis, the author, has dyslexia. He gives valuable information in understanding and working with dyslexia.
As a retired teacher, I would highly recommend this book. I have taught dyslexic students, using the methods in this book.

Mr. Davis helped me understand dyslexia, as well as what the student “might be seeing” when they see words on a page. He gives solutions
that help students learn easier, esp. Orientation Counseling, which also helps with the student’s coordination. Parents, as well as teachers, will benefit by reading this book.

Pat G: This book has so much great info and examples. This book answer a lot of questions to my struggles with reading. I recently found out that I am dyslexic.
I would suggest anyone read this book. You will understand how dyslexic people think vs people who don’t have dyslexia. It can make feel a lot better about yourself that you just learn differently and the way they teach in school isn’t geared towards people with dyslexia. Multiple times this gives similar examples I’ve struggled with and why. I get exhausted reading, but this books teaches me so much that I get caught up in the book and can’t put it down.

Nadine: Before reading this book my life was full of frustration and limitations, but not any more. I will forever be thankful for Ron Davis and his amazing Davis methods. For giving me understanding, control and compassion for myself and others. I now understand my abilities and all the amazing GIFTS I naturally have and how I can use them.

Thank you,
A fellow dyslexic,

May42May42: I learned so much about myself. When I'm on my Orientation Point, I understand and am understood so much better.
It's a whole new world in two weeks when combined with Out of Autism by Cathy Smith and an online course from her son, Desmond, at the Belleville Success Centre.

Karen S. Robinette: Ron Davis explains both the difficulties faced by people living with dyslexia in a world and school system dominated by English readers and the special gifts that many of them have. Since reading this, I've spoken with several dyslexics who were entirely unaware of their gifts. Well, actually, they were unaware that the rest of us don't have such gifts. These include a musician who learns entire choral scores, including all of the individual parts, while learning the one assigned, several individuals with incredible 3 dimensional spatial understanding, and others who seem to be able to leap to big-picture understandings of concepts while the rest of us are struggling to cope with the details. One day I mentioned Ron Davis's notion of seeing the letter shapes from multiple dimensions to one of these individuals. It sounded crazy to me, but I learned that this person had figured out how to freeze his perspective while reading, as a high school student, without understanding why no teacher had ever suggested that approach. He had no idea that all of us don't see objects from multiple dimensions in just the way Ron Davis described. If a parent or teacher had been aware of this mental...

Jeremy Cole: I bought the previous version of this book more than 8 years ago. I was 21, and although I would've been ashamed to have admitted it then, I hadn't read a single book cover to cover in my 21 years, including school assignments. I had really struggled in school through my entire childhood and teenage years, and nobody really understood why. I failed every English class in high school. I just wasn't able to read, and it was immensely frustrating. I tested very well, and was clearly intelligent. I got deeply involved in computer programming from a very early age, so my intelligence level was high enough. I could write in English just fine. Yet I still struggled. Nobody ever diagnosed me with dyslexia, but this book looked interesting, so I bought it on a whim.

By the time I bought this book, I was doing well working in the computer industry, but I never really understood why I couldn't read. Well, to be clear, I could *read* and understand words; I wasn't illiterate by any means, but I found it impossible to get through more than a few pages of text. I had severe reading comprehension problems. My mind would read ahead, wander around, and mis-read things, and I would have to...
