Young learners deserve the best start we can give them. Strong research evidence suggests that children who are exposed to Davis methods at pre-reading or elementary school level (age 5-8) benefit in the following ways:

• Highly unlikely to develop a learning difficulty

• Develop self confidence in their ability to learn

• Their basic word recognition will be among the highest levels expected for their age group

The Davis® Reading Program for Young Learners is an individualized learning enhancement program. Sue will work directly with your child and at the same time provide hands-on training and guidance to you or another family member. Through the unique partnership philosophy of the program the parent gains the skills needed to provide the child with ongoing support.

The 25-30 hour program is provided 3 hours a day over 2 weeks. The goal is to give children aged 5-8 the best possible start at the outset of their learning career. The program provides:

• Lifelong learning skills and self regulation tools

• Mental focussing and attention techniques

• The conceptual skills needed to develop reading fluency and comprehension

• Mastery of letters, punctuation marks, and teaches the techniques to master the common sight words.

• The Davis® Reading exercises to develop tracking, fluency and comprehension

• The parent gains knowledge and sufficient confidence through training and instruction throughout the program to provide ongoing support to the child.

The Davis® Program for Young Learners provides important tools to beginning readers. Through the unique partnership philosophy the parent has the skills needed to provide the child with ongoing quality support.

Learning techniques and activities are keyed to the developmental level of the child, so the child experiences success in a fun and playful setting.

Through active participation in the program, the parent gains the knowledge and tools needed to continue supporting the child’s learning at home. The child recogizes you understand their way of thinking and learning, this can develop into a lovely bond of trust and cooperation through the years ahead.

As part of the program, students will always receive the Davis Young Learner Kit for Home Use. This is to be used at home following the program. The parent will be provided the instruction manual from the kit at the start of the program.
