Davis™ Reading Programme
for Young Learners
“When someone masters something, it becomes a part of that person. It becomes part of the individual's thought and creative process. It adds the quality of its essence to all subsequent thought and creativity of the individual.” ~ Ronald D. Davis
The Davis Reading Programme for Young Learners is suitable for children aged between 5 and 8 years, who are experiencing challenges in learning to read. This programme is preventative in nature, rather than corrective, and it aims to give young children the best possible start at the outset of their learning.
The Davis Reading Programme for Young Learners includes:
- 30 hours of facilitation spread over 10 mornings (2-3 hours per day, with a parent present at least 50% of the time).
- Personalised attention given to client’s learning needs and goals.
- Extensive parent support training for continuation at home.
- All materials required for the programme and for home-based follow-up work.
- 5 post-programme sessions with the facilitator.
- Continued email and phone consultation with the facilitator, as required.
On completion of a Davis Reading Programme for Young Learners, many of the following skills and benefits are usually achieved:
- Techniques to establish attention, focus and energy-level control.
- Letter and Alphabet (upper and lower case) Mastery.
- Mastery of basic words.
- Introduction and understanding of punctuation marks.
- Establishment of left-to-right eye tracking.
- Introduction of reading methods that increase comprehension.
Strong research evidence suggests that children who are exposed to Davis methods at pre-reading or primary level (age 5-8) benefit in the following ways:
They are highly unlikely to develop a learning difficulty.- They are significantly more likely to qualify for gifted program referrals.
- Their basic word recognition will be among the highest levels expected for their age group.
