The Gift of Dyslexia

As a dyslexic individual and a teacher, he offers a unique perspective on the subject of learning disabilities. Through his own real-life experiences he shares what everyone needs to know about dyslexia, what the dyslexic student encounters in a typical school, and what is needed to teach such students effectively. To support his conclusion that dyslexics have special talents of perception, imagination, and intuition, Davis cites talented and brilliant figures from Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci to Churchill and Walt Disney. He concludes with a test, written in simple language and printed in a large typeface to make it easier to read. Given Levinson's medical focus, his text is recommended for academic and larger public libraries, while Davis's book is appropriate for all types of libraries.



EJ Thornton (author of Angel On Board) has known all her life she was dyslexic, but guess what - she's an author and a publisher now! Dr. Davis' book, The Gift of Dyslexia helped her to see that she why she could think faster than the people around her and see things they couldn't. Dyslexia is NOT a learning disability - it is a GIFT! All it truly means is that we process our information visually - not verbally! I am truly grateful that Dr. Davis wrote this book to help me understand what was really going on! Get this book! I think these learning techniques should be used in every kindergarten class - then we wouldn't ever even see the symptoms of dyslexia again!
