COPING MECHANISMS |
Students who haven’t learned basic literacy skills by the second or third grade will usually begin to invent ways to get by, appear to fit in, or at least maintain some sense of self-esteem. These gimmicks may be highly ingenious, but they have nothing to do with success in school.

| Coping Mechanisms |
- Signing the alphabet song
- Sounding out each letter of every word
- Unusual body postures and motions
- Rote memorization
- Extreme concentration
- Dependence on others
- Avoidance of studies or tasks
- Physical or emotional agitation
- Extreme shyness or being the class clown
|
| These are attempts to overcome frustration and despair. When they begin to appear, they indicate that the child is already struggling and is likely to give up on school. The ideal time for a remedial program is before these behaviors become lifelong patterns. However, it is never too late. Dyslexics of all ages - from seven to 70 - have been able to fill in the gaps with the Davis® Dyslexia Correction Program and solve their problems once and for all. |

Testimonials
"From our perspective, The Davis Dyslexia program and your training method not only address the problem, but are tailored specifically for each individual. The one-on-one insturction makes the program enjoyable and when an eight year old enjoys something, not to mention an educational program, it must be exceptional."
-- Dad of 8 year old
"What a wonderful feeling...a program that finally helped our grown daughter feel good about herself!! Not to mention finally being able to read and enjoy it! It was a very emotional week, and tiring, but well worth it. I will talk to anyone who will listen and recommend the Davis Method and you!!!"
-- Mom of 36 year old
