Great for HomeSchool groups and school inservices or workshops

Watch Don McCabe as he takes a 17-year-old dyslexic through his first lesson at the AVKO Educational 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! This will help you see just how spellbinding and interesting Don McCabe can be in any of the workshops listed above.

And Now the Surprise!
The Low, Low cost of AVKO Inservices

The AVKO Challenge and Guarantee

Participants may watch a demonstration in which a student (or students) of their choice learn to spell a difficult word such as scattered, psychology, or malicious. Your choice! They will learn to spell whichever word they select without once seeing the word, without studying the word, and without writing it seven times. This is guaranteed. If Don McCabe cannot get the students you selected to do this, AVKO will refund the entire cost of the inservice.
