100 Powerful Learning Specialist and Educational Therapy Materials

So back in 2005, I made it my mission to design and distribute high-end, remedial products as well as memorable, motivating lessons that bring delight to learning.

    My son was just diagnosed with dyslexia/add and my nephew was diagnosed with a tracking issue. Are they related disorders and is the help similar for both?

    Dyslexia and ADD are both cognitive issues and tracking is not. As for dyslexia, there are numerous cognitive processing deficits that can lead to this diagnosis such as sequencing, auditory discrimination, and visual processing difficulties. ADD is an attentional problem and is "housed" in an area called executive functioning. In contrast, tracking is a issue specifically with the eyes. This is when an individual has difficulty scanning across the page from left to right.

    Now it is always possible for a student with Dyslexia to also have tracking problems, but it is not required in that particular diagnosis.

10 Free Ways to Improving Visual Tracking for Weak Readers

While reading, tracking across the page from one line to the next can be tricky when the text is small, but for students with dyslexia or weak reading skills, it can be a problem regardless of the font size.  So why is this the case?  Perhaps one of the problems is poor tracking skills. What Exactly is Tracking? Tracking is the ability for one's eyes to move smoothly across the page from one line of text to another. Tracking difficulties happen when eyes jump backward and forward and struggle to stay on a single line of text.  This results in problems such as word omissions, reversals, eye fatigue, losing your place while reading and most importantly it can impact normal reading development.   Can Tracking be Improved? Tracking can be improved by strengthening eye muscles as well as getting your eyes and brain to work cooperatively.  There are three eye movements that need to be developed:   Fixations: The ability to hold one's eyes steady without moving
