Don asked me to serve as a prepub reader/editor of his book THE TEACHING 
OF READING and in return sent me TO TEACH A DYSLEXIC and some of his 
materials. They are all *wonderful* and I show them to my 
secondary/adult reading methods courses as examples of extraordinary 
materials available at a very, very reasonable price.  I urge everyone 
to check out www.avko.org. No affiliation; wouldn't know Don if he 
walked in room. We communicated online and I admire him and his work. 
(My one gripe was that he insisted on calling principals "he.")

He has appeared on the list serv before, he isn't paying me to pump his book, but golly, I don't know of anyone else except  John Corcoran (The Teacher who Couldn't Read) to write a book on reading from the dyslexic's point of view.  Had to mention it. Don is or maybe was, also a teacher.
