Saccadic Workbook #3

The workbooks challenge and strengthen the eye's movement ability utilizing upper & lower case letters, single & two digit numbers, & varied spacing between the letters/numbers. Three increasing-in-skill levels have been developed.
Saccades refer to the eye’s ability to quickly and accurately shift from one target to another. This is a critical skill in reading, involving very specific eye movements. The eyes must move left to right along a straight line without deviating up or down to the lines above or below.  In addition, when we reach the end of a line, our eyes must make a difficult reverse sweep back to the beginning of the next line.  If a child cannot control these eye movements, he’ll lose his place and comprehension becomes a problem.  The exercises below are meant to improve this important tracking skill.
