Science Daily News often reports studies on dyslexia - see this one report from 2008: Remedial Instruction Rewires Dyslexic Brains, Provides Lasting Results, Study Shows -

and this one - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080611103900.htm
THIS one shows/ discusses the Davis Dyslexia method of using clay to model words, thought it does not specifically attribute the method to Davis. In the video, do you see how the student uses the clay? This is exactly what they had Coleman do... it's the kind of thing/ approach that helped Coleman retain the sounds/ meanings/ spelling of words that we reviewed. Read and see the video here:

Hello there!
I just happened upon your blog and wanted to let you know that the clay modeling on the video IS Davis!
I am Karen LoGiudice, a Davis Dyslexia Correction Faciliator in Massachusetts. My son and I were interviewed - albeit only shown for a couple of seconds. The story was predominantly about the research being done in Boston.
I wrote a blog article about this and some other interesting research as well...if you are interested in reading it, here is the link:

Take care!
Karen
