In The Mail
Dear DDAI:
I want to write a special note of
gratitude to Ron Davis, and say with
totally heart felt sincerity, Thank You.
I first met Ron in Ann Arbor, Michigan
in the early 1990s, when he was giving a
presentation to promote his (at the time),
new book The Gift of Dyslexia. Im not
sure if the book was even on the shelf at
that point. However, he had a few copies
with him. This encounter was quite an eye
opening experience for me. My youngest
son was diagnosed with dyslexia and I
had no clue what that meant, but wanted
to learn more. I have never forgotten the
personal story Ron shared. I purchased an
autographed copy of the book.
My sons mother and I had gotten a
divorce a few years earlier and I wanted
to share with her some of what it was all
about. So I gave the book to her to read
and I think it helped her as well. Although
she never returned it, I havent forgotten
the message from a man with the deepest
and best personal understanding of the
subject, that anyone could have, and over
the years Ive recommended the book to
lots of people.
From time to time I have looked up The
Reading Research Council and followed
its progress. I was thrilled to see the
creation of the Davis Dyslexia Correction
Center. The training and licensing of
so many Davis Facilitators is awesome.
Although it has been quite some time since
I last looked to see what is happening in
the world of dyslexia, I am really happy
to see that the organization has grown
worldwide.
As for an update on my son, he, too,
has been blessed with the gift, which
is now starting to blossom as his genes

7. The core curriculum is outrageously expensive, based on systems theory would actually work.
and getting more costly all the time. Many schools
force teachers to use commercially-produced
instructional materials instead of local resources.
Much of the new standardized testing requires
the purchase of new computers to handle the online tests. Ultimately, billions are being spent on
unnecessary testing, test prep, machine scoring,
and the purchase of untried instructional materials
supposedly aligned to the curriculum and the
tests. There is no evidence that the new tests and
new aligned materials will improve learning,
yet school districts are investing vast amounts
of money in them. If we follow the money
wed find most of it in the accounts of for-profit
corporations that mass produce all of these
materials and technology.

Lazy Reader
Book Club
By Danny Brassell and Laura Zink de Diaz
Every month at Danny Brassells website,
The Lazy Readers Book Club, youll find
a list of books he recommends for reluctant
readers or for those who just dont have time
for much reading. (He knows were not lazy,
just busy or in need of encouragement!)
Dannys recommendations are always
organized into categories: AD, for adults;
YA, for young adults; CH, for childrens
books. He always lists a page count and
some brief comments, as below. Danny
usually posts about 10 recommendations
per month, three or four per category.
Heres a sampling of Dannys most recent
recommendations in all three categories.
You can read more recommendations at
the website, www.lazyreaders.com. There
youll not only find Dannys current picks,
but the archives of past selections by month,
reading level, and page count enough
recommendations for a lifetime of reading!
You can also sign up for monthly book
alerts, while youre browsing.
If you purchase books at Amazon.com
through links at the Lazy Readers website,
Bookends (www. bookends.org) will receive
a donation. (Bookends is a nonprofit
organization devoted to increasing childrens
access to books, as well as community
service awareness.)
