Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Vision Training Upon the Subsequent Reading Achievement of Fourth Grade Children: Final Report There is little doubt that visual perception skills are conditioners of the learning-to - read ability of the child. Visual perception, in terms of awareness, discrimination, retention, and recognition, is a prime factor in the learning-to-read process. It is important that the young reader learn to visually perceive form as early as possible, enhancing his aptitude for learning to read. The general problem of the present study is whether training in the vision skills that make perception possible are also associated with reading achievement and the process of learning to read. The current study takes a significant step toward answering the question. It is the contention of many that some of these vision factors are learned and that inadequacies may be corrected by appropriate teaching called vision training. An increasing number of Optometrists are offer ing vision training services to their patients. Many of them see chil dren become able to learn as a result of vision training. However, with presently available evidence, hypotheses regarding the relationship Of vision training to reading achievement can be neither rejected nor accep ted. The study, then, attempts to create the situation during which careful, complete, scientific observation of patients may be carried out during vision training, replicating office practice to see if what is seen by vision training specialists can also be seen under vigorous study conditions.
