    “Why ‘Tyrannosaurus’ But Not ‘If’?” will raise dyslexia awareness.

    This Dyslexia Awareness resource pack will help you unravel the conundrum below…

    There are some bright and creative people who thrive in conventional learning environments.

    There are others – just as bright and creative – who do not.

    Traditionally, dyslexia and related difficulties in areas such as reading, writing, maths, coordination and attention focus. They have been “clinicised” as quasi-medical disabilities.

    Yet this view is coming under increasing scrutiny, coupled with growing awareness of the particular strengths that tend to come with these difficulties. Many of those who experience dyslexia or related learning issues display unusual creative talents. They have vivid imaginations, come up with original solutions and can either “visualise” or “intuit”.

    So why do these children not thrive in conventional learning environments?

    Richard Whitehead,a  director of the Davis Learning Foundation, has now created 3 unique methods, based on the Davis methods, that educators can use to discover the answer to this question.

    whytyWhy Tyrannosaurus but not If Why Tyrannosaurus but not If? 

    The free, 15 part, online course for teachers and others interested in the education of dyslexic learners.

      Why Tyrannosaurus but not If? 

    The book, providing a dyslexic blueprint for the future of education.

    Why Tyrannosaurus but not If? 

    A one-day workshop linked to the popular online Davis methods course for teachers of struggling learners.                             Contact Davis Learning Foundation for details.

    Richard Whitehead is a great writer and a great educator – his on-line course and his book are engaging and easy to read, and at the same time highly informative. The book includes a number of references to research, but always explained or summarized in a way that is easy to understand.

    A revolution well worth joining.

    Empower the struggling Dyslexic. It’s not hard, it just requires a shift of perspective as any and all of these methods will show.
