Please Note:
We start even adults with Drill 1. We start with very simple words. This drill works on:
- Your visual discrimination skills (your ability to process the difference between letters).
- Training your eyes to move more efficiently from left to right.
- Speeding up your visual processing speed.
Doing this simple drill will make reading other material easier and faster over time. Your eyes will start to move more efficiently and effortlessly across a page of words. You will be able to process words and information faster. You’ll achieve results if you do this short activity for 5 minutes each day.
