This book is designed to enhance visual skills so that students may read more efficiently. It contains hundreds of games and exercises to train all the visual skills which go into reading, copying from the chalkboard and books, as well as skills needed in sports activities. 

Many student reading problems are not caused by the use of a particular type of reading program, i.e. phonics vs. whole language.  Millions of students are coming to school without the necessary visual skills for reading.  They have spent too much time watching t.v. or playing video games and have not developed the eye teaming and focusing skills which make reading more efficient.  

Sadly, the usual school vision screening (The Snellen wall chart) is only a distance acuity test and tells which size letter a person can see from 20 feet away.  The results are not related to the near point activity of reading at all.  When a child receives a report of 20/20 eyesight many parents and teachers alike think that this child may not be working hard enough to bring up low reading scores.  Actually, it is more likely that the child has an undiagnosed visual problem, and what he or she "sees" on the printed page is different from what is actually there.  When this type of problem is present, many children report that words move around on the page, they don't see the punctuation, they skip lines, recognize a word on one part of the page but not another, etc.  

The A+ vision manual has a checklist to help diagnose certain types of reading problems and gives the specific exercises to help correct them.  Of course, all children should have an eye exam by a qualified doctor as well - especially one who is trained in determining perceptual difficulties and not just acuity. 

In the A+ Vision Manual, visual skills such as tracking (reading smoothly from line to line), focusing and using both eyes together as a team are covered with outstanding child-centered activities. The manual is unbound so you can easily duplicate each activity. 

If you want your students or children to read better, faster, more efficiently and for longer periods of time, this book is a must. It took over three years to complete the book and has been tested on thousands of children with excellent results.  The A+ Vision Manual is part of I Read I Succeed Kit, and is one of several items to correct your child's or visual skills.
