The Gift of Dyslexia: Why Some of the Smartest People Can't Read...and How They Can Learn, Revised and Expanded Edition
Author: Ronald. Davis
What might happen if we use the power of reframing to look at challenges associated with learning ? So many of us fall into the trap of feeling overwhelmed by the things that make us different or make learning more difficult. Imagine the confidence you would feel when you embrace what makes you different and see it as a superpower!
Ronald Davis is an expert in the study of neurodivergence and dyslexia, and his 1994 book has been revised and republished to include all the newest research on how to harness the power of dyslexia to increase confidence and address learning in a new way. This new edition is a must read for any parent or family learning to adjust to this diagnosis.

-
Understand what dyslexia really is and how it happens
-
Learn to embrace the creativity and curiosity of the dyslexic mind
-
Practical solutions to helping a child with reading, writing and mathematics
-
Empower yourself to use the gifts of dyslexia to address the deficits that a student may face
