The Best Start:
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 primary level (age
5-7) 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.
The Davis® Reading
Program for Young Learners
is an individualized learning enhancement program with a licensed and trained
Davis Facilitator. Its mission is to give children aged 5-7 the best possible
start at the outset of their learning career. Its aims are:
- to provide lifelong learning skills to younger children
through a partnership between Facilitator, child and parent(s)
- to give one or both of the child's parents, or a support
person, sufficient confidence and skill to continue working with the Davis
Young Learner's Kit after the program
- to provide children with the conceptual skills needed to
develop reading fluency and comprehension.
The Davis™ Reading Program for Young
Learners provides important tools to beginning readers. Through the unique
partnership philosophy of the program, parents or other family members gain the
skills needed to provide the child with ongoing quality support. Typically, the
Facilitator will schedule 25-30 hours of time with the student; at least half or
more of the program time will also include the parent or support person
participating in helping the child with the new skills and techniques.
