Eye Doctors and Reading Specialists Show Why Colored Overlays Work
In my work as a Reading Specialist for over 25 Years, I have learned that all children do not see the printed page in the same way. Many children tell me that they see double letters or letters that seem to fall off the page.
The result is that their comprehension suffers and they may skip lines, change the order of the letters in the words, or know a word on one page and not on another.
Developmental Optometrists and those doctors who practice Neuro-optometry, say that some children and adults suffer from "Perceptual Distortion", brain injury or other physical handicaps which can affect their vision and eyesight, and placing colored overlays on top of the printed page may help them see the page more clearly.
The result: Those who previously struggled with reading, had a visual or physical handicap affecting reading, may quickly be able to read words and sentences when they were previously unable to do so when they use colored overlays.
If your child, student or adult member in your family is able to read, but suffering from reading problems, slow reading, dyslexia or even ADHD, administer the Eye-Q Reading Inventory to determine how the person sees what is on the page and whether they may suffer from "Perceptual Distortion" or other visually related reading problems.
According to the Reading Teacher, 1990, "Using colored overlays help eliminate (light) wave-lengths before they reach the retina and the brain. As a result, visual information may be more effectively analyzed."

"The blue overlay helps me read. When I don't have it the words move around. When I use the overlay the words settle down. I am glad my mom found the blue overlays. I really like them. They are so good."
—Kyle Wilkinson, age 7Kyle's mother says: "Using the blue colored overlays, Kyle's fluency rate has increased from a score of 12 to 45 as measured on the DIBELS oral reading fluency test. We're pleased with the progress he has made. I sincerely feel the blue colored overlays played a big role. I just wished we had discovered them back in kindergarten when he first showed signs that something was physically and perceptually wrong with his vision." —Lisa Wilkinson, Teacher
"Our grandson uses colored overlays and loves the blue ones. Before using colored overlays, he did not like to read or to write and now he loves to do both. It only took him using the overlays a couple of times before we saw major positive changes in his reading and other subjects. We also use the overlays on the computer screen too."
