DORE Program Graduate, February 20, 2007
This review is from: Dyslexia - The Miracle Cure (Hardcover)
I completed the Dore program about two years ago and it changed my
life. My Dyslexia and ADD made everyday tasks very difficult to
perform. My father talked me into doing the Dore program even though
the closest center was six hours from my home. We made the drive and I
am so glad we did. This program has enabled me to do things that were
easy to others, but impossible for me. My life is so much better after
completing the Dore program. As for the cost, I would have paid triple
that amount. I no longer have to worry about feeling stupid or ashamed
of things that were out of my control. This is a great book. Read it
for yourself.[...]

one long advertisement, February 13, 2007
This review is from: Dyslexia - The Miracle Cure (Hardcover)
I am an educator who works specifically with learning disabled children, and I am always on the lookout for new techniques and approaches. I bought this book hoping for some practical recommendations.
This book is one long advertisement for the DOre program. It contains very little practical information. I am annoyed at having spent ten dollars for what amounts to propoganda.
Instead of this book, I recommend the Brain Gym books. The approach appears to be similar, and the books they publish contain practical, easy to implement recommendations and activities for remediating learning problems. The Brain Gym website links to independent studies supporting the efficacy of their approach.

Save Your Money, It's Not a Miracle Cure, November 6, 2006
This review is from: Dyslexia - The Miracle Cure (Hardcover)
This is Winfore Dore's attempt to justify charging $4,000 and up for a system of exercises that has absolutely no effect on reading ability.
The approach has been widely publicized in the US, the UK (its origination) and in Australia.
If you are looking for help for your dyslexic child, I commend to you any Orton-Gillingham based multisensory teaching; Lindamood Bell (good track record); and Susan Barton's DVD-based training for parents, The Barton Method for Reading and Spelling
