Finally, somebody who understands,
By Elsie Johnson (Flathead County, MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gift of Learning (Paperback)
Since I've worked with students with learning difficulties for a decade or two, I know what's out there. The idea of thinking about thinking in a different way is just what we need in this field. The parents need to have hope. If this book is anything like Mr Davis' first book, The Gift of Dyslexia, then this book is not just for any one group. It seems to deliver, really deliver, information for ALL interested in helping themselves or others that are great folks having these little problems that get in the way BIGTIME. I can't wait to get into this book and see what explanations and directions the author provides for me this time. Did I say parents need hope? Well it is not just the parents, it is teachers, and anyone else who makes it their business to see to it that we do as much as we can to keep learners learning, in positive ways. WE know there are too many opportunities for learning how to not contribute to the greater good, if we feel bad about ourselves. Congratulations Mr Davis for bringing us a second opportunity to think about thinking again and be hopeful.

Overcome learning problems without medication,

This review is from: The Gift of Learning (Paperback)
If your child is experiencing learning problems and you don't want to use medication - this is the book for you! Easy to follow "how to" that leads you step by step through the process necessary for overcomimg problems with handwriting, math or ADD. Ron Davis uses very clear, easy to understand language, and writes from more than two decades of personal experience in the field. A great resource for any family with a child who is not achieving his or her potential!

The Gift of Learning: Proven New Methods for Correcting Add,,
By Nancy Kress (Glendale, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gift of Learning (Paperback)
Anyone dealing with problem students will find this book to be a five-star wonder. Even if you're not the teacher, the understanding you get by reading this book will help you deal with the problem learner in a whole new (and better) way because you better understand the nature of the problem. Ron Davis not only understands the visual/experiential learner, but he can explain WHY there is a problem---like the difference between a number and numeral, and how a particular thought process can have great difficulty with the symbols of the numerals and letters. His explanation of why some students can't seem to read handwriting---even when it's their own---and how to "erase" the problem letters and then ingrain a new handwriting that will be legible is so easy to understand and simple to address, it is a wonder the process hasn't been invented before. While this book might not have wide appeal (how many are dealing with problem students?) it is a MUST READ for those who are in need of correcting addition, math, and handwriting problems.
