Davis Foundations for Reading Programme

Clay Work

A visual-spatial, hands-on foundational programme for those aged 5-8, the Davis Foundations for Reading Programme helps children gain skills in:

  • reading

  • writing

  • spelling

  • staying focused.

As a facilitator, I work directly with the child, while providing hands-on guidance and training to a participating parent or support person, who attends with the child for at least 50%, preferably all of the programme.

Key Davis Focus Skills

Focus

Ensures the child has accurate perception and can become and stay focused.

Release

Children learn to control their stress levels and put themselves into a calm space.

Dial

Enables children to set their energy levels to suit activity levels and to build rapport with others.

Clay Work

A hands-on, visual, meaning-based approach using smooth, non-gritty Plastilina clay, allowing the child to master:

We have worked with Rachel for almost a year now to help our daughter master her dyslexia.
Over that time, we have witnessed incredible leaps and bounds in her reading, writing, and confidence.
Rachel is patient, calm, and caring. Her passion for helping people of all ages with dyslexia is an inspiration.
