The Gift of Dyslexia Reviews
You understand better after reading it. Reading this book helps me looking at it differently. Really help and restores confidence in your child and in the relationship between child and parent. After being in denyal I got interested by the different way of taking in your environment, seeing problems, beeing creative etc. Imagine not being self confident and hearing a remedial teacher telling you that you are handicapped. I'm going to try the procedures described in the book as well. It just didn't feel right and did more damage.
My 12 year old daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia 3 years ago. At school they did their best but it just didn't click with her. Roger (Holland) Just the total different aproach: gift instead of handicap, teaching disorder instead of learning disorder help to give our live a positive twist. that she does. I would recommend this book for every parent with a dsylectic child.
As the spouse of a dyslexic, I have read many books on dyslexia. This is a must read for all dyslexics and their love ones. 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 book is very interesting. The author knows what its like not to be "normal" at school. Gives alot of helps for the struggling student.
Yeah. This book is a waste of money. Ronald Davis may be a dyslexic - but that doesn't make him an expert. 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. Look elsewhere for sound information on dyslexia and how to learn to live with the challenges that dyslexia presents.
With that one short sentence my daughter was convinced that she was to "blame" for all of the problems caused by her dyslexia. 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. Nothing helps a dyslexic learn to deal with the challenges they face like being told they did it to themselves.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who have these difficulties, or teach children, or have children with these problems. In fact, my average was a D. Everyone who has had difficulty in reading, writing, or trouble in school should read this book. It answered questions I had about myself all my life. I thought the score was a mistake and so did my teachers.
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. Well written and easy to understand solutions that can be accomplished in a short period of time. I am 70 years old and was not aware of dyslexia until I was 40. It was if I was released from my own lack of self esteem.
I considered myself "dumb" all my life. I failed the first grade and received very low marks in grade school and high school. When I read this book, I was moved to tears.
I took several IQ tests and always scored over 150.
