Engaging Eyes

Reading and Spelling

Children with dyslexia, and other poor readers, often struggle to focus both eyes on the same point and track across the page. When they read each eye looks at a different letter, and the brain receives two different images.

This is partly why reading is so difficult for them. It causes them to read slowly, skip words or lines, reverse letters, say the text moves, say the text is double or blurry, they get eye strain or tired when reading.

Engaging Eyes helps your child overcome these problems with 8 fun, easy to use games.

Fluency Builder

Reading

To be able to read you need good Phonological awareness. In fact phonological awareness is one of the best predictors of reading success.

Most people with dyslexia have a Phonological Deficit, they can’t hear individual sounds in words e.g. goat contains 3 sounds – g oa t. It’s just one blob of sound to them.

Fluency Builder contains 50 lessons. Each lesson covers a new sound, plus exercises to improve the phonological deficit, plus an easy or hard reading passage that also teaches new vocabulary.
