About Dr. Davies
Dr. Davies, the founder of Black Swan Learning, studied at Caltech and MIT before earning his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford. After a first career working for some of the largest tech companies and a second career teaching at a K-12 charter school, Dr. Davies shifted his engineering focus toward helping parents whose children are struggling to read. As a teacher, he witnessed the real-time struggles faced by many children and how poorly equipped many teachers were to help those children. Through a better-than-phonics, intuitive, sounds-based spelling and reading game, he started a company called Black Swan Learning, a company that helps set readers up for academic and life-long success.
Dr. Davies is on a mission to help one billion people learn more quickly, more deeply, more reliably, more persistently, and more joyfully by 2034.

āI have received 2,861 emails from Dr. Byron Davies since May 2, 2015, at which time he invited me to join in a collaborative competition, intending to win the Global Learning XPRIZE. Our team didnāt win. Yet the two of us have persevered ā with me living in California, and him living in Arizona ā holding a big vision of teaching the world to read using a new, better, and faster protocol. We have successfully combined my low-tech experience as a practitioner and his high-tech expertise as a software engineer to create an astonishing minimum viable product! Together now, we eagerly announce its birth and will continue to nurture this revolutionary creation into its highest destiny.ā

āI met the brilliant, compassionate, and talented Dr. Davies in 2007, introduced by our mentor, to work on K-12 education-related strategies and software. Since that first meeting, we have worked with educators worldwide as well as scientists and visionaries focused on helping children to learn in more profound ways. Dr. Davies is a passionate leader, writer, and facilitator. We have traveled and presented to groups on several occasions and are typically asked to return. I consider Dr. Davies one of my most treasured friends and colleagues, and I look forward to the many ways Dr. Davies will continue to contribute to mankind through helping our children.ā

3 New Ways To Help Your Child Read Fluently
In a world where literacy is the cornerstone of learning, countless parents watch helplessly as their young ones grapple with reading and comprehension. They have tried everything ā including phonics ā but nothing seems to work. In his talk, Dr. Davies conveys that, in reading, sounds are more important than letters. Once children understand how language is built from sounds, they can learn how to spell those sounds in letters, and then to read those letters into word sounds. Attendees will walk away with a better way to learn how to read. They will carry away a teaching resource that they can use with their child to make learning to read fun and effective.
