Are you a teacher struggling to meet the diverse learning needs of your students, provide individualised instruction, and maintain engagement among all learners, particularly for those who appear disinterested or struggle to focus?

Or are you a parent who feels there's something not quite right about how your child is responding to reading teaching at school — and you want to safeguard your child's future as a fluent reader and inquisitive learner?

Are you a professional providing educational support  and feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of students requiring assistance with learning difficulties, and the limited resources available to support them?

Would you like…

• More effective strategies for managing (and even reducing) disruptive behaviour and fostering a positive learning environment in your classroom?

  
  

• Simple, innovative and effective teaching tools that level the playing field, significantly reduce the onset of learning difficulties, and allow ALL children to learn, regardless of their learning style?

  
  

• Greater awareness and understanding into how bright but struggling learners think, as you learn how to empower them to become independent and confident in their learning?

What are the Davis Learning Strategies?

Davis Learning Strategies (DLS) are a versatile, creative, and multisensory pathway to reading fluency and learner self-awareness, especially tailored for young learners up to the age of 9.

Research indicates that DLS are effective at:

• preventing the onset of special educational needs

• increasing the likelihood that a child will emerge as a gifted and talented learner.

DLS create firm foundations in pre-reading skills, integrating with a school's existing reading teaching strategies. DLS is a good complementary solution for children who have so far struggled with basic sight word recognition, phonic-based reading instruction, reading comprehension and spelling.

Simply put — it is the missing piece that makes everything else start working.

This intensive workshop will equip you with:

Effective strategies for positive learning

• Enrich your teaching, homeschooling or parenting with practical mental strategies, fostering self-awareness and self-regulation for a calmer and more effective classroom environment.

• Implement strategies to foster greater self-awareness and effective self-regulation, empowering children to take control of their focus and energy levels and improve their emotional well-being.

• Help your students develop essential lifelong “how to learn” skills.

• Experience a significant reduction in behavioural issues; enhance a child's understanding of where behaviours come from.
