[quote=Anonymous]It might be worth getting a screening from a developmental ophthalmologist. They do more in-depth evaluation of eye movements (saccadic leaps) and eye coordination. There are some issues that can really make reading harder. But otherwise it is a matter of teaching the kids not to jump ahead/ jump around on the page. My dyslexic kid used a ruler or sometimes even a card with a slit in it to only reveal 1 line at a time when she was tired. ADHD medicine helped too. Her OG tutor gave her a pink colored overlay that showed a single line. The color didn’t do anything for her, but it made her happy and she liked using it. Thank goodness for tutors who really understand their students. Later she wore “reading glasses” that were pink with rhinestones and had wide sidearms to block peripheral vision while she worked. Because she said she would really rather look at anything other than the words sometimes.[/quote]
