My son has difficulty reading because the words jump around. He has specialized prism glasses which don't seem to be helping. Any suggestions?
Thank you

You can try red filter paper, sold on Amazon. It helps for some and not a big investment

Try to isolate the words for him. Cover the words before and after. It's just the words that jump around and not the individual letters?

I have astigmatism and the words jump around for me too. I just learned to live with it, I read a lot and enjoy it very much.

Are you in Lakewood? I know an amazing reading specialist that can recommend a good eye doctor and vision therapy if needed.

Try the Irlen online screening and see if he just needs a different contrast color. You can also buy cheap packs of transparencies on Amazon to try.

Either there’s a vision problem, or this is just a symptom of a delay of the processing of sounds and symbols.

If you take the Kriah evaluation by Torah for Children, that can check if it’s a delay in processing sounds and symbols.
