the challenges of meeting individual learning needs in a classroom

Davis® Learning Strategies (DLS) is a powerful, hands-on approach for teachers and parents who want to support confident, capable learners in the early years of literacy and classroom engagement.

Whether you're a classroom teacher facing varied learning needs, or a parent looking for natural, engaging ways to support your child’s reading journey, DLS offers simple, effective tools you can use from day one.

As a teacher, would you like to…

  • prevent early learning struggles before they start

  • support all students without compromising advanced learners

  • implement seamlessly within existing curricula

  • use tools that are fun, engaging, and easy to apply?

 

As a parent, would you like to…

  • build positive learning experiences at home

  • support your child’s early literacy through play

  • foster confidence and calm around learning

  • spend meaningful time together that builds lifelong skills

An Inclusive, Strength-Based Approach

Davis Learning Strategies help children:

  • Learn letters and words in a way that sticks

  • Gain focus, self-regulation, and confidence

  • Build the foundations for reading, writing, and classroom learning
     

The programme uses clay modelling, movement, and self-management tools to make learning enjoyable, interactive, and accessible. DLS is especially useful in inclusive classrooms where a range of learning styles are present.

"After starting DLS, one of my targeted boys changed from hitting me and throwing items around the room/demolishing the room, to wanting learn and write independently. A noticeable change in his attitude, de-escalating from anger to a boy who could manage his reactions and learning "
