VT question for Linda F.

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Hey Linda,
I’m curious — With the exercise where you have your son follow the tip of a lightpen or pen— how long do you have him do this? Do you use a timer with all the exercises?

Thanks! :-)

We have a stopwatch. The stopwatch is great for alot of things.

We do 2 minutes each eye and then 2 minutes for both eyes. Also hold positions for a few seconds and stretch the eye out. For instance hold the pen way out to the left and count to 5 or 10 under your breath. Then up, down, upper right, upper left etc..
Use some slow, some fast movements and don’t forget to do circles.

What do you mean by “stretch the eye out?” Do you mean holding in one place?

Thanks! :-)
