The basic principles behind Davis Dyslexia Correction are detailed in the book, The Gift of Dyslexia, by Ronald D. Davis. The book also contains specific instructions in the basic and most commonly used Davis techniques, which can be used effectively by many parents or home educators working with their own children. The latest edition of the book is available from Kalahari.net.
We are particularly grateful for the research that has been conducted in South Africa, at the University of the Free State and via Stellenbosch University comparing the progress of students receiving Davis-based instruction with matched controls.
