Building Peripheral Vision, Visual Tracking and Attention For Improved Reading and Scanning
By Dr. Erica Warren
Are you or your students struggling with reading fluency, scanning across text, or staying visually focused? Weaknesses in visual tracking, peripheral vision, and visual attention can make reading, writing, and comprehension much harder than they need to be.
Dr. Warren’s Visual Training Program is a fun, engaging, and research-based tool designed to strengthen the core visual perception skills that support fluent reading and confident learning. Whether you’re helping a child overcome challenges or looking to sharpen your own visual processing abilities, this program provides structured, enjoyable exercises that really work.
Visual perception is at the heart of how we learn. Strong visual processing skills allow us to:
Children and adults with solid visual tracking and peripheral vision find reading, writing, and learning less frustrating and more rewarding.
Learn to smoothly guide your eyes across lines of text and follow moving objects. Strengthening eye tracking skills improves reading speed, accuracy, and comprehension.
Widen your field of vision with fun activities that challenge you to notice what’s happening beyond your direct focus. Stronger peripheral vision enhances scanning skills, spatial awareness, multitasking, and overall cognitive efficiency.
Stay focused, filter distractions, and complete tasks with greater efficiency. These targeted visual attention exercises support concentration and executive functioning, providing the stamina needed for both academic and daily success.
This program is ideal for:

By watching the ball move across the screen, individuals can focus their attention on building visual tracking and only visual tracking. In addition, other activities target peripheral vision by offering activities that direct one to focus on the edges of the visual field. The brain is only asked to do one thing at a time, so this enables one's attention to focus on the area that needs intervention. Eventually, these skills can be built to automaticity, so they can be accomplished subconsciously. To build motivation, the exercises are short and include a variety of activities and different levels. The videos also integrate fun, upbeat melodies.
This will be different for each individual. The trick is staying on an activity until it becomes "easy." Then, slowly work through each level. Practice is key, so make sure to repeat the activities on a daily basis for at least three to four weeks.
We included a few activities with moving backgrounds to help build visual attention. If these activities are uncomfortable, they can be skipped.
