 Awesome! November 30, 2008
As the spouse of a dyslexic, I have read many books on dyslexia. They all just give you one case study after another and use vague explanations for what causes dyslexia without really telling you anything that really helps you understand what is going on. This is the one book that finally explains it all, in easy to read and understand language. This is a must read for all dyslexics and their love ones!

This book is very interesting. The author knows what its like not to be "normal" at school. Gives alot of helps for the struggling student.
 Too bad there's no option for less than 1 star October 27, 2008
This book is absurd. Dyslexia cannot be "corrected." As the parent of a recently diagnosed teen aged dyslexic there aren't enough words to describe how disappointing this book is. In a book full of pseudo-science and bad advice the worst thing in the book though was the statement that "dyslexia is a self-created condition." This one phrase made my dyslexic daughter feel like a personal failure and completely hopeless. With that one short sentence my daughter was convinced that she was to "blame" for all of the problems caused by her dyslexia. Yeah. Nothing helps a dyslexic learn to deal with the challenges they face like being told they did it to themselves.
Ronald Davis may be a dyslexic - but that doesn't make him an expert. Look elsewhere for sound information on dyslexia and how to learn to live with the challenges that dyslexia presents. This book is a waste of money.

Everyone who has had difficulty in reading, writing, or trouble in school should read this book.
I am 70 years old and was not aware of dyslexia until I was 40. I failed the first grade and received very low marks in grade school and high school. In fact, my average was a D. When I read this book, I was moved to tears. It was if I was released from my own lack of self esteem. It answered questions I had about myself all my life. I highly recommend this book for anyone who have these difficulties, or teach children, or have children with these problems.
I have talked to a number of people, who have some form of Dyslexia, and saw within them the same feelings I had about myself. I considered myself "dumb" all my life. I took several IQ tests and always scored over 150. I thought the score was a mistake and so did my teachers.
Well written and easy to understand solutions that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

This easy-to-read book is an excellent explanation of the condition known as dyslexia, complete with scholarly studies by a man who has first-hand knowledge of his dedicated field. I've recommended it to several families and they have found it fascinating and extremely helpful in dealing with their children when no one before had ever diagnosed their problems correctly.
