Eye Doctors and Reading Specialists Show Why Colored Overlays Work

In my work as a Reading Specialist for over 25 Years, I have learned that all children do not see the printed page in the same way. Many children tell me that they see double letters or letters that seem to fall off the page.

The result is that their comprehension suffers and they may skip lines, change the order of the letters in the words, or know a word on one page and not on another.

Developmental Optometrists and those doctors who practice Neuro-optometry, say that some children and adults suffer from "Perceptual Distortion", brain injury or other physical handicaps which can affect their vision and eyesight, and placing colored overlays on top of the printed page may help them see the page more clearly.

The result:  Those who previously struggled with reading, had a visual or physical handicap affecting reading, may quickly be able to read words and sentences when they were previously unable to do so.

If your child, student or adult member in your family is able to read, but suffering from reading problems, administer the Eye-Q Reading Inventory to determine how the person sees what is on the page and whether they may suffer from "Perceptual Distortion" or other visually related reading problems.

According to the Reading Teacher, 1990, "Using colored overlays help eliminate (light) wave-lengths before they reach the retina and the brain. As a result, visual information may be more effectively analyzed."
