But you'd hardly notice the difference! We work for 90 minute sessions followed by a 30 minute break to ensure that you don't get Zoom fatigue. For this reason the workshop is spread over 5 days instead of the usual 4 days. (Don't be fooled by the manual cover.) To keep you safe during the Covid pandemic and to allow access for those who can't travel, we have moved our professional training online. But the Gift of Dyslexia online is still the Gift of Dyslexia. This is no dry webinar.

This is an opportunity to learn the proven Davis methods to correct dyslexia and other learning difficulties by addressing the root cause of the problem, as opposed to using bandaid approaches.

These basic principles and methods form the foundation of the various Davis Programmes for dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and ADD/ADHD. Training is done with a combination of lectures, demonstrations, paired practice sessions and Q & A. Each participant will have the opportunity to understand, experience and practice each procedure. Attendance is limited to ensure the highest quality of training.
Who should attend:
Parents, Teachers, RTLB’s, Reading Specialists, Teacher Aides, Tutors and those interested in completing the Licensed Facilitator Training Programme.
What you will learn, see demonstrated, and personally experience:
• Proven methods for improving reading fluency, spelling, motor-coordination and attention focus.

• How dyslexics think and perceive
• How to assess for the ‘gift of dyslexia’

The Davis Learning Strategies® Workshop represents six years of working with Davis Methods in the classroom. It was developed to give Year 1-4 classroom teachers’ unique strategies to give their students life-long skills in how to learn, and provide effective reading instruction. It is a strategy-based programme that builds on early school-based teaching in phonics and phonetic decoding by using clay modeling of high-frequency and basic sight words.
The workshop format and contents were researched and developed by a teacher who has over 20 years’ experience in classroom teaching, curriculum development and teacher mentoring. The Davis Learning Strategies® methods were created and developed by Ronald D. Davis, author of The Gift of Dyslexia and The Gift of Learning. Numbers are limited to 20. (Minimum numbers do apply.) Early bird registration $775 + GST by 19 December 2020 Regular price $885 + GST from 20 December. Registration and payment is required by 21 December 2020. For information and registration: Rochelle Booth P: 027 306 6743 E: dyslexiaunlocked@gmail.com Contact us if you would like one held at your school. |
Date and Time Schedule
(short breaks are factored into the sessions) Face-to-face Workshops can be in Wanganui NZ, or at your own school. Minimum numbers apply. The workshop is 2 days, 8:30am-5pm each day. Dates to be mutually agreed. Online Workshop is spread over 5 sessions. You MUST be available for all 5 sessions as it is very hands on. This option is great for those kaiako (teachers) that don't live near Whanganui (NZ), have almost exhausted their toolkit and need something else for their class of 2020. They can implement Davis Learning Strategies from the first day of term, receiving a little bit more information each session. This allows the kaiako the opportunity to continue to practice with their class, building on the sessions delivered prior. |
All workshops have a minimum number to confirm the workshop. Please do not make travel bookings or irrevocable arrangements without sufficient insurance until the workshop is confirmed. DDA Pacific will not be responsible for any costs incurred associated with travel and cancellation.
