Dyslexia is a way for the brain to channel words, symbols, and letters into discernible thoughts. It's not just a disorder or handicap, something that teachers will be disappointed at and parents will be worried about. Over the years, all the dyslexic people I have met in my life have a knack for something other than reading and writing.

Figuring out if you have dyslexia, what typifies those who have dyslexia, and what to expect in terms of personality, reading skills, and other related aspects, is a puzzle

Despite being a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2008, Philip Schultz could never shake the feeling of being exiled to the “dummy class” in school, where he was largely ignored by his teachers and peers and not expected to succeed. Not until many years later, when his oldest son was diagnosed with dyslexia, did Schultz realize that he suffered from the same condition.

The Understanding Dyslexia Course helps students to better comprehend dyslexia, as well as how it can affect a child's self-esteem, how to identify it, and importantly it covers the many ways in which teaching can be adapted to help a dyslexic learner. Unless you yourself or someone close to you has dyslexia or if you teach those with the learning difficulty, it is often misunderstood and can actually go undiagnosed for some time, as it is seen as an "invisible" difficulty.

Story
Dyslexia has been described as a difficulty in processing information which may be linked to deficiencies in short-term memory and visual coordination. It is an inherent weakness in short-term memory that is either auditory or visual, which can make it extremely difficult for that person to learn and understand the relation between symbols and spoken sounds. This difficulty allows the person to be unable to correctly speak the correct flow of auditory sounds needed to make a word or sentence sound proper.

Neurodiversity is the fact that neurological differences like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc., are natural human variations that have real benefits. The neurodiversity movement which values such human differences that were traditionally pathologized is gaining speed. Co-author Barb is a non-verbal autistic who is disguised as a poor thinker, because her body does not reliably respond to what her brilliant mind tells it. She needs round-the-clock assistance to help her do basic things, so people make all kinds of assumptions about her intelligence.

Not so rare survival story
A dyslexic man walked into a bra – though still, thinking quicker than a hand can write may not be a serious defect. Learning can be a very enticing activity if not made dull by a formal schooling system. The book reminded me my own adolescent years when quitted the school thinking that never again. However, a young man needed a profession so I later started studying in a technical college. Then, surprisingly, the former troublemaker turned out to be the best in the class – especially in mathematics, physics and mechanics. Now, after two engineering degrees and one postgraduate degree in technical mathematics, I can do nothing but wonder why on earth I could have missed so many years in my younger life. People are very different, and indeed, and excellent talents can get dismissed. The book is unquestionably worth of listening (or reading)

must buy for dyslexia or parents of dyslexia child
this is a must buy if you want insight into how to overcome dyslexia. the reason i gave it 4 stars is because it is just read from the book, and says from time to time to read the side notes, or look at the chart, etc. well you dont have that so sometimes your just left wondering what iam missing. for that i would say buy the book and on kindle its much cheaper.

A must listen for all dyslexics out there
Being dyslexic is not easy to grow up with, that’s a fact. Later in life the academic pressure looses its grips but low self esteem leaves the residue. This book made me realised that my mind works in such a high flying attitude that I should have been proud of all it, not ashamed. Ronald inspires you to change the way you perceive the gift.

Must Read!! Read This book NOW!
Where does The Gift of Dyslexia rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
If you are dyslexic or know someone that is this book could change your life.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Gift of Dyslexia?
If you are dyslexic you, this book will help you understand that you are gifted. Which is probably completely the opposite of what your teachers and the school system has taught you.
What three words best describe the narrators’s performance?
The narration could be better.
Any additional comments?
This book is a must read (or listen) if you are dyslexic or know someone that is. Ron Davis, a dyslexic himself, explains dyslexia and how you can learn to overcome reading difficulties.
Davis explains that dyslexia is a gift and why some of the most famous and influential people (Einstein, Edison, da Vinci the list goes on and on) have been dyslexic. It is not a coincidence that these successful people were dyslexic, rather they were able to use their gift.
After reading this book, you will understand dyslexia is truly gift!

My son was just diagnosed with dyslexia.. I have listened fo this book over and over. Every time I re play it I learn something new. It is a lot to take in all at once. My son also listens to it every morning. It has changed the way we now communicate. He says "yes exactly that's how it is." So knowing and hearing it explains how he feels made him feel so much better. This book has given my son more self-confidence. And me a peace of mind and knowledge..
