Visual Tracking Pencil – Sheep

Description

Well-developed visual skills are crucial for effective reading and overall academic success. The engaging character of the Visual Tracking Pencil – Sheep captures children’s attention, making it an excellent tool for assessing and enhancing visual tracking abilities. It is important to ensure that the child is seated comfortably, with their feet flat on the floor, to promote better postural stability during visual skills activities. Position the Visual Tracking Pencil at eye level, approximately 30 cm away from the child.

To improve tracking skills, gently move the pencil across the child’s visual field at a slow and consistent pace, ensuring the character remains at the designated distance. As the child learns to maintain focus on the creature, vary the movement to encourage tracking in different directions. For convergence and divergence exercises, start with the creature at 30 cm from the child’s eyes and gradually bring it closer, stopping at about 5 cm. If the child struggles to maintain focus, reposition the creature further away until both eyes align on it.

Always seek guidance from a developmental optometrist regarding your child’s visual development.
