Building Peripheral Vision, Visual Tracking and Attention For Improved Reading and Scanning
By Dr. Erica Warren
Welcome to Dr. Warren's Visual Training Program – a revolutionary tool designed to boost key, visual perception skills. Whether you're a young learner or someone looking to sharpen your visual abilities, this program offers a tailored and enjoyable approach to enhance your visual tracking, peripheral vision, and attention.
Visual perception plays a crucial role in learning, especially for young students. It affects their ability to read, write, comprehend, and even interact socially. Children with strong visual perceptual skills find it easier to recognize letters and numbers, understand written material, and navigate physical spaces.
Importance of Visual Tracking:Visual tracking is the ability to control eye movements to smoothly follow moving objects or to shift focus between stationary objects. It's a foundational skill for reading, as it allows the eyes to move across a line of text and then jump from one line to the next.
Visual Tracking in Educational Settings:Effective visual tracking is linked to improved reading fluency and comprehension. It also plays a significant role in sports and other physical activities, where tracking moving objects is essential.
Defining Peripheral Vision:Peripheral vision refers to the part of vision that occurs outside the very center of gaze. It's important for detecting motion and helping us understand our spatial environment.
Peripheral Vision's Role in Learning and Daily Activities:A well-developed peripheral vision is crucial not just for reading efficiency but also for general safety and orientation in space. It allows children to be aware of their surroundings while focusing on specific tasks, enhancing multitasking and overall cognitive abilities.
Based on this understanding, Dr. Warren's product offers a comprehensive approach to enhance these visual skills:
This product is an ideal tool for anyone seeking to enhance the visual processing skills needed for reading text. With its blend of effective exercises, fun imagery, and engaging music, this product promises a rewarding and enjoyable journey towards better visual skills.
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.
