Teaching Effective Learning Strategies - DLS


We all the tine keep telling our children focus, pay attention, concentrate because it is important to stay focused if you want to learn and understand anything. But, have you ever thought how to focus?  Is there a way to teach children easily to know when their mind is going off the task? Why children, for most of us adult it could be a challenge, unless we are doing something really interesting. For learning, children are made to sit in classroom, whereas they are filled with curiosity to explore the world and the zest to try out everything! Nevertheless, for structured learning to take place we need classroom (or similar setting). 

So how do we make learning exploratory and experiential for children and also teach them self directed techniques to stay focused willingly. Davis Learning Strategies are one such techniques which gives answer to these questions. 

These techniques are effective and helpful for all those who want children to be:
1. Better readers 
2. Having ability to focus at will. 
3. Independent learners 
4. Develop Critical thinking
5. Develop analytical thinking. 

These strategies are applicable for all types of learners as these based on Multiple intelligence & Multi sensory techniques. These are independent to any curriculum and language.

These strategies are easy and simple to use. 

Research results based on classroom based study, where these Strategies were deployed show following key impact: 

1. 40% High achievers (gifted students) which is 35% higher than average.

2. No special referrals : students who are At Risk of developing LD came into average category.
