What does it mean to "see"? And what can reading glasses do for a child who can "see" without them?
Join Sylvia on her journey with her glasses. It's love at first "sight," but when the excitement of the accessory wears off, how is she supposed to remember to use her glasses? Especially when she notices she can "see" without them?
Embedded within this engaging story are important insights for parents about the visual skills needed for learning in a classroom setting, and the subtle signs of visual problems which can be treated with glasses. Parents and children, alike, come away understanding the difference between "needing" glasses and "benefitting" from them as a powerful tool for learning and sustaining attention in the classroom.
If your child loves to learn, but doesn't love to read, chances are there is a visual problem which has not been addressed. "Find a Doctor" resources are provided to locate eye doctors who treat learning-related vision problems around the globe.
