THE GIFT OF DYSLEXIA Why Some of the Smartest People Cant Read…..and How They Can Learn By: Ronald D. Davis with Eldon M. Braun

The Gift  Dyslexics use a mental function that causes this “gift”  A natural ability or talent  Here are a few surprising famous dyslexics  Greg Louganis, Jay Leno, General George Patton, Cher, Walt Disney, and Henry Ford.  As you can see not all dyslexics will develop the same gift.

How to understand the Gift  All dyslexics share these basic abilities.  The ability to utilize the brains ability to alter and create perceptions.  Being highly aware of the environment  More curious then the average person  Thinking mainly in pictures not words  Thinking multi- dimensionally  Can express thought as a reality  Vivid imaginations

The Disability  Dyslexia is a product of thought and a special way of reacting to the feeling of confusion.  This is the feeling of disorientation  There are six basic parts of this disability  Reading problems  Spelling problems  Math issues  Hyperactivity  Clumsiness  Handwriting issues

Breaking down the issues  A dyslexic person is a non verbal thinker  What is a nonverbal thinker?  A nonverbal thinker thinks with pictures of concepts or ideas.  When a nonverbal thinker comes across a word that does not have a picture it becomes a disorientation factor  These are called trigger words

Trigger Words  There are two hundred words in the English language. That are trigger words.  Here are a few of the words that are on the list of trigger words.  Be, Become, Can, Come, Do, Get, Go, Have, Leave, Let, Like, Make, Put, Run, See, Take.  These words do not have pictures in the mind of a nonverbal thinker.

Educational  Helping a dyslexic become a better learner.  What not to use  The alphabet song  Heavy concentration  Memorization

Education  What is used in this book  The Davis Strategy that is used in the Davis Dyslexia correction, Davis Learning Strategies, and Davis Symbol Mastery  The highlights of this strategy is making a clay alphabet so the student can put feeling into the alphabet  Using clay figures to put pictures to the trigger words  An example in this book is two clay figures holding hands to create a picture of the word and.

Keep in mind  This is one mans study on correcting issues that are attributed to dyslexia  Dyslexia is not curable  Other books that I highly recommend on this subject are
