Description

Danjela Ibrahimi and co-authors test the sight and movement skills of children who read poorly, and how often they flip letters or numbers that mirror each other. The study covered one hundred children aged six to thirteen with a known poor reading diagnosis.

Three tests measured how the eyes take in shapes, how sight guides hand movement, and how often flips occur. Most children scored near or well below average on the hand movement test. Half scored in a like range on the sight test. The youngest and oldest groups split on some sight skills. Eye movement in one test best predicted scores on the others.
