AVKO Video: To Teach A Dyslexic Part 1

Click the Play button in the center of the screen to Watch

Big Thanks to Don McCabe for his Ground breaking books and work with Dyslexic People, also all at AVOK

AVKO comes from Audio, Visual, Kinesthetic, & Oral a multi-sensory approach.

Don McCabe, is Research Director at AVKO Educational Research Foundation, and has written over forty books.

Watch Don McCabe as he takes a 17-year-old dyslexic through his first lesson at the AVKO Dyslexia Research Foundation. You will be able to watch the young man's face as he discovers that Mr. McCabe has "tricked him" into being able to read and spell instantly the word malicious!

But it's not trickery. It's based on solid educational principles. McCabe, a dyslexic himself, has discovered that it is the ends of "big" words that determine how the beginnings are pronounced and that it is the endings of words that often use different, albeit consistent, phonic patterns. Isn't that nice. But notice, notice is not not ice!
