Davis® Home Kit for Dyslexia
A must for home tutoring and home schooling children age 8+
Davis Home Kit for Dyslexia contains everything you need to understand and address the symptoms of Dyslexia, including strength-based tools for attention focus, learning strategies for resolving perceptual confusion, and exercises for building reading skills.
• The Davis Orientation tools give students the ability to sustain attention in a relaxed and natural way.
• Davis Symbol Mastery is a visual-spatial learning process that improves anyone’s basic literacy skills.
The Davis approach is enjoyable and engaging, whether you’re working with young children, teenagers, or even if you’re using it for yourself as an adult.

Note
Some products, including Dictionary, Grammar Reference book, and modeling clay may differ from what is shown in the kit photo, due to supply issues and/or changes in packaging or cover images with updated products.
The kit comes with only one book: The Gift of Dyslexia. If you would like more than one book, please order additional books separately.
Do you already have a copy of the The Gift of Dyslexia? We consider this book essential to understanding and applying the Davis methods, but if you already have the 2010 edition of the book (blue cover), you may choose to substitute another book. Read the descriptions below for more information about each option.
Working with a child age 5-7?
For younger children and pre-readers, we recommend the Davis Home Kit for Young Readers (see below). Please select your kit based on the age of the child, rather than reading level.
Working with more than one child?
Consider buying extra clay or Koosh balls. We recommend 2 pounds of clay for each child, and an extra set of Koosh balls if you are working with 3 or more children.
Book Choice
Default book option
The Gift of Dyslexia, by Ronald Dell Davis
This book is an essential reference for understanding and applying the Davis methods, and is included with all kits as the default option. However, if you already own the 2010 Revised and Expanded edition of this book (blue cover), you may want to substitute another book.
Alternative book options
The Gift of Learning, by Ronald Dell Davis
This book contains added instructions for applying Davis concepts to math, attention mastery, and improving handwriting. This is an excellent choice for homeschoolers or parents of children experiencing academic difficulties in addition to reading.
The Everything Parent’s Guide to Children with Dyslexia, (2nd Edition), by Abigail Marshall
This book provides general information about dyslexia and learning and many other helpful tips for parents. Choose this book if you already have both of Ron Davis’ books and would like a broader understanding of Dyslexia.
