Reading and Vision Therapy Resources
Discover how to do vision therapy at home and improve your child's reading! You will no longer have to pay $50.00 or more per hour for vision therapy (which btw, you still need to work on daily at home).
We met Pat Wyman at Rhea Perry's Education Days a few years ago and Mom purchased her vision therapy resources. It saved a lot of money not to have to pay for weekly trips to the vision therapist. Wow! We made it part of our homeschool routine and did it together at home. We've even used them to help teach other homeschoolers.
Here they are (#s 1-3) and a few others also:

The See Clearly Method; Better Vision Without Glasses, Contacts or Surgery (Box Set includes DVD, CD-ROM and Manual/Journal)
Stronger Eyes Make More Sense Than Stronger Glasses! The muscles in your eyes, like all muscles, need proper exercise to stay in shape. And extensive close-up focusing (watching TV, computer use, reading, etc.) can stress the visual system and lead to vision problems. "The See Clearly Method" provides simple, natural techniques designed to reduce stress, put the eyes through their full range of motion, increase focusing power, and improve the teamwork and coordination between t...1 point

Reading Fun
Count every " F" in the following text:FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)
HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.
The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process "OF".
Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.
Show this to your friends.
It will drive them crazy.!
And keep them occupied
For several minutes..!

- Great site!
Anyone can double their speed in reading without the fear of not being able to understand the materials being read.
Most people find reading rapidly difficult and risky. They are afraid that as they increase the speed of reading, they might not be able to grasp the idea of what they are reading.
That's why they have to settle with slow reading speed that makes them finish a novel over a month, or worse, not being able to find what they are looking for in an academic textbook for an assignment in school before the due date.
What they do not know is that, according to studies, the relationship between reading speed and comprehension is directly proportional to each other. That is, an increase in rate entails an increase in comprehension.
Want to double your reading speed and increase your understanding of the materials being read?
