| 1) Davis®
Reading Program for Young Learners
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 5-8 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.
2) Davis
Dyslexia Correction Program®
The 30-hour program is delivered one-on-one over a 5-day
week to children 8 years old and above, typically from 10.00
am to 5.00 pm with an hour break for lunch.
Initial Consultation and Assessment is preferably done at
least a week ahead unless the client has to travel far. The
Initial Consultation and Assessment usually takes approximately
an hour.
What is involved?
The program includes assessment, individualized counseling,
support training for family members or tutors, and brief follow-up
visits.
In those 30 hours the student is shown the techniques, which
will enable him/her to:
- understand what needs to do to maintain or restore orientation
when required
- recognize when disoriented and what the triggers are that
cause those disorientations
- understand how disorientation alters perceptions and makes
learning much more difficult
- work with clay to eliminate confusion from trigger words
- relax and release the tension that comes from concentrating
too hard on achieving a task
- control energy levels in his/her body so that he/she can
adjust them to the appropriate level for any activity he/she
is engaged in
- create certainty, which will increase his/her self-confidence
- possess a set of fundamental principles that he/she can
think with and use in structuring his/her life and activities
- feel that learning and discovery can be fun and interesting
and that he/she has talents that he/she can use and share
with others
- gain a new picture of what it means to be dyslexic
- do things and remember things in ways that work better
and faster than the compulsive behaviors he/she has previously
relied on.
On completion, students are given a kit containing the tools
for Davis® Symbol Mastery, which they will continue to
use until they have mastered all the trigger words that cause
problems for dyslexic people.
The two-hour Support Training for the person working with
the client at home is usually offered on Friday afternoon.
