Synopsis

This workbook contains activities to help a child copy geometric shapes accurately. The areas of the brain that deal with visual motor skills are also involved with eye tracking, which is necessary for reading. Therefore, training in copying geometric shapes also strengthens a child's ability to read. A significant number of children struggle with reading because of problems relating to their visual system. Most of these children have similar symptoms: Slow reading, Excessive reversals of letters or words, Sloppy or disorganized printing, Making mistakes copying from the board or text, Losing their place or skipping words during reading. During thirty years of working with children, Dr. Lane, a pioneering developmental optometrist, noticed that his patients who were poor readers tended to share these symptoms. He developed a questionnaire, called the Lane Academic Readiness Screen, or LARS, that helps parents, teachers, and other caregivers assess whether a child has vision or reading problems that can be improved through the practice of structured activities. The LARS identifies specific problems and then points adults toward scientifically developed activities designed to help the child improve his or her reading speed and proficiency. Dr. Lane has structured the activities into workbooks that train visual tracking, focused attention, visual scanning, and spatial attention. Through diligent practice of Dr. Lane's activities, children improve at reading. As they become faster, more proficient, and more confident readers, reading ceases to be drudgery for them, and they begin to read on their own for pleasure. Improved reading leads to increased self-esteem and school success.
