Here are some of my favourites written by Ron Davis and other Davis Facilitators
The Gift of Dyslexia — Ron Davis
A groundbreaking book that reframes dyslexia as a different way of thinking rather than a deficit. Ron Davis shares his own story and explains the unique strengths often found in dyslexic minds, while introducing practical tools that help learners overcome reading challenges and build confidence.
The Gift of Learning — Ron Davis
Building on the ideas in The Gift of Dyslexia, this book expands the Davis approach to attention, focus, and learning difficulties. It explains how picture thinkers learn best and offers practical strategies to help children and adults develop the skills needed for successful learning.
Why Tyrannosaurus, But Not If? — Richard Whitehead
This insightful book explains why many bright dyslexic learners struggle with small “trigger words” like if, the, and of. Richard Whitehead explores how the Davis methods help learners master these confusing words and unlock fluent reading.
Counting on Fingers — Richard Whitehead & Ron Davis
A fascinating look at why some learners struggle with math despite strong intelligence. The authors explain how dyslexia can affect number concepts and show how hands-on, visual approaches can help students build a solid understanding of mathematics.
Fish Don’t Climb Trees — Sue Hall
A thoughtful and encouraging book that challenges the traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach to education. Sue Hall explores the strengths of neurodiverse learners and shows how recognizing different thinking styles can transform the way children learn and succeed.
