FVYD Vision-based Reading Skill Recovery Initiatives Implemented in Local Maine Schools

This direct program is designed for inclusion within our local schools in Maine and across America to acquire “a new approach to reading.” This is achieved through a visual-based manipulation to promote reading improvement. It is a new science of success for our teachers to benefit from. Our non-profit organization is designed to enable students and support teachers and parents by helping their youth overcome their difficulty with reading books. This application, after 12 weeks, will support their further growth to grade-level reading.

Our FVYD addresses five basic types of Eye Movements

Number One
Smooth Pursuit Movements
Number 2
Saccades
Number 3
Vergence Movements
Number Four

Number 5
Oculomotor Dysfunction

Reading Skill Recovery for BOOKS & TEXT

Beginning with 3rd grade, visual development for reading requires specific physiological movements for the following tasks, including Digit-span, line wrapping, and accommodation to distance. Building these skills for stability enhances performance. Reading issues that we address are not medical issues for healthy eyes; we work with mechanical skills. Behaviors often improve after our short FVYD short program works.

Reading Skill Recovery: Our Program for Eye Support is Ready for Your Schools

We collaborate in schools directly with students, working with teachers and ED techs across America to offer this unique, simple, eye-skill training for reading growth. FVYD, with the student screens – identifies and then addresses the barriers to support successful reading. FVYD also supports future growth with other library resources to enable these students. Through this unique program, we enable working visual and processing skills.

Vision Evaluation Checklists

Following our student screening with these checklists, our FVYD team of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) extend visual evaluations in school to identify related vision issues that might hinder a child’s reading progression.

FVYD eye screenings with the checklist are provided for struggling youth with healthy eyes within schools. This is our first 15-minute screen for an entire classroom. This screening focuses on vision-skill symptoms in our youth. Our professional work reviews follow – to extend one step further for individual issues. FVYD would like to collaborate with local licensed optometrist for scheduled screenings of all local schools to extend this work. Issues like convergence, teaming, tracking, timing, and alignment are addressed with screening tools and techniques.

(Note: these evaluations are for reading skill efficiencies. We do NOT do medical eye exams)

Our SMEs and professionals designed this reading work specifically for healthy eyes. We invite educational professionals to complete the student transition work back-to-school. When FVYD has completed the 12 weeks, education professionals will complete the student transition work. Eyewear tools will also be provided.

We offer:

  • Parents and teachers new information
  • Donors and others the opportunity to sponsor your schools
  • Struggling kids with a new future
  • Empower youth success!

Educational Supportive Team Building

After recovering the students’ reading skills, our collaborative team works with teachers and parents on supportive initiatives to transition their selected students back to mainstream classrooms. We include selective resources, strategies, and supporting initiatives. Once completed in the short term, this work will help teachers, caretakers, and parents understand more about reading skills in the classroom and have more peace at home.

FVYD Empowers Student’s Success and Helps Parents and Educators

FVYD Empowers Student’s Success to help Parents and reduce Educator’s work!
Together in school, we begin our short inclusion program with FVYD-trained ED techs (yours or ours; ours leave with us in 12 weeks). With this 12-weeks of FVYD mentoring, FVYD can maintain our highest quality for our 15-minute program.

Within these 15 minutes each day of our FVYD program application, lives will change. Students, when they realize it is not their fault that they cannot read- to perform well in schools. These FVYD select students soon relax to enjoy this unique FVYD new learning experience & become more engaged at school also.
(FVYD will certify and train school ED techs for this advancement in their careers). This FVYD work benefits our teachers and allows a distinct change in the classroom environment. Parents will experience a refreshing change in their kids at home also.***We will contract to provide “one FVYD program” in each school and keep a (nominal) school contract for future FVYD program maintenance oversight. With the anonymous data to improve program efficacy & school support only made available to FVYD.

Collaborative Partnerships

Our FVYD reading skill recovery inclusion program is contracted into our local schools for one grade only (4th or 8th grade). Then, 3 education techs are trained in 6 hours (4 x 1.5 hours) for delivery with Future Visions Youth Development, Inc. essential program.

We value our partnerships and sponsors, and FVYD asks for help from our community. We hope with this work to ever-broaden the working arena. Working together, helping your students reach new reading possibilities, & our short inclusions work will allow our teachers to move their students forward and instill in them a love for reading and school that lasts a lifetime.

Only you, parents & teachers, can do this! FVYD will do the rest. Together, we can change lives and reading skills to no longer see one word at a time but enjoy the thrill of reading, that is how all will know the uniqueness and empowerment of this remarkable work.
