HELPING:

Most people are aware that one has to have a high level of intelligence in order to be dyslexic. People with dyslexia think primarily in pictures which is a much quicker process than verbal thinking (when you hear the words in your head as you think them). They can think around four times faster than people who do not think in this way; indeed it is their speed that contributes to their dyslexia.
 
Reading becomes a problem when the ‘phonic’ technique is used. Their visual mind is much better suited to ‘word recognition’ but because most people learn well with the ‘phonic’ approach this is what is widely used in our schools.

Writing is laborious because it is so very slow compared with the speed of the visual mind. It is hard to know where to begin in order to translate these vivid pictures into a simple sequence on a page. Couple this with the further translation required into written words that require spelling correctly and it is east to see where the difficulties arise.
 
Using the Davis methods enables the client to progress quickly with reading, writing and spelling.
