Parents, take a quick look at this list. Does your child do any of the following during homework time?
[ ] Skips lines or loses their place while reading
[ ] Complains of headaches or eye fatigue after 10β15 minutes
[ ] Tilts their head or covers one eye while looking at a book
[ ] Has a short attention span specifically for reading or near-work
