"One major obstacle I have overcome in my life is one which most people take for granted. The inability to be able to read held back my potential as a young student. They thought I had bad eye sight, really I couldn't read. Throughout school I spend extra time before, during, and after school with teachers and tutors further developing my reading ability. As I continued, grades in school were only average, or as I saw it a disgrace to my name. Every year each teacher would make comments how to improve, mine was consistently reading. Finally in eighth grade I was offered to attend a program a friend of our family was starting to teach (Davis Dyslexia Correction Method). At the beginning of the program we set goals, including improvement of my handwriting, however most importantly reading and understanding. This required much mental exertion with the result that by the end of that school year I had straight A's. Breaking through this barrier opened the whole world for me. Now I am not only reading English freely but also Russian, after only one year speaking and understanding the Russian language." Zack recently finished medical school and is now a doctor!!
Sally took the program when she was 52 because we wanted to go back to college. Sally said, "Thanks to you and the Davis program, I have achieved A grades in my college courses. Using the "on point" tool helps to get my mind focused and ready to learn new information. Being on point also helps with recalling information in order to get high grades on tests."
Kevin said, "I thought I knew what concentration was, but I really didn't. This (using his point) is what I call focus."
Mom stated that he organized his whole room after the program.
Katrina said, "I don't guess at the words anymore."
Katrina's parents said, "This is the most excited she has ever been about learning."
Her mom has actually had to tell her to stop reading and go to sleep many times. Dad says, "This is how I remember my childhood and exactly what I was hoping for when I approached you."
Katrina was going into 5th grade when she took the program. She has now graduated with her Master's in Chemistry!!
Chris stated that he can "finally absorb material when it's spoken to him".
