I have not only read the book, but was also fortunate enough to find a trained Davis facilitator to help my 9 year old son begin the process outlined in the book. My son , Edward is in the 3rd grade at a private school in Nashville, TN. Edward is very smart, but he couldn’t learn to read.

Yes, he could read with great frustration and “muddle” through, but only at about beginning first grade level.

We had him “tested” on the advice of his kindergarten teacher(auditory processing was the diagnosis)and we began the painful tutoring journey with phonics-based programs(Linda-Mood Bell, Orton-Gillingham, Wilson,etc.) In spite of following the “experts’” advice Edward could not read.

His teacher and tutor said “he wasn’t trying hard enough.” Not trying hard enough? Baloney! I saw daily the look of pain and frustration on my child’s face as he struggled to read. He simply had not been given the right tools to decode the English language. Edward is dyslexia.

This program has given Edward the tools he needs to be a fluid reader with full comprehension. His self confidence is high and he’s having fun. I am greatful to Ron Davis for sharing this information with my child and me. It has changed my child’s and my life forever.
