(she had said for a year or so she would never be able to read as her eyes didn't work properly and rubbed them whenever she tried to read)We tried coloured overlays that day from school. She jumped up and down on the bed shouting "I can read!, I can read! I can read!" she went from books with six words per page which were repetitive except one word to pages with four different sentences on each page that night and went up four reading groups in a term. It took only a month to get from being assessed at Specsavers in Bicester to getting her purple glasses (yellow was the best overlay but when given a wider choice she chose purple) they cost £40 with £20 for the assessement, cheaper for her as she was a child but not free. Nearly a year on she reads much better, balances better can walk in a straight line but still has many problems with organisation following out instructions and writing what she wants. Her writing is rounded now not spikey but still includes reversals and mirror writing and muddles. We are trying Dore excersises as of thie month to help her visual tracking. I recomend overlays to anyone who has a child who saya the words move on the page. My daughter at nearly five complained of words dancing around on the page.
