“I am pleased to tell you that his words per minute have greatly increased. His accuracy has increased from 93% to 97%. Self-correcting has decreased 6 to 3. We decided to meet only two days per week for some maintenance and then to one day a week. He has improved his words per minute from 49 to 110!!! 110!!! I’m astounded and thrilled! Great program!”

“We teach students the physical act of writing by building fine motor skills of the hands, why are we not teaching the physical act of reading by building fine motor skills of eye movement? By teaching students the physical act of reading during this critical learning period between first through fourth grades, we can make a huge impact in education.”

“Efficient and accurate eye movements required for reading are learned motor skills that, like other complex motor skills, take practice and develop with age. Currently we assume that students can execute this complex task when they are first learning how to read, but many students benefit from being taught how to move their eyes more efficiently.”

“Eye tracking difficulties are a common cause of poor reading performance in our early learners and can significantly interfere with overall academic achievement. However published evidence shows us that there are simple solutions. Teaching our students the fine motor skills needed in the physical act of reading broadens their abilities and academic potential with profound impacts on reading achievement.”

“It is thought that over 70% of what children learn in school is learned visually. Optimal visual performance sets students up for success in the classroom. Utilizing evidence-based programs that increase visual performance early on can significantly improve a student’s academic performance so they can focus on reading-to-learn verses learning-to-read.”
