Visual tracking plays a big role in reading, writing, and classroom learning. Yet, it’s one of those skills that often goes unnoticed until challenges appear.

When a child struggles with tracking, you might see red flags like losing their place when reading, skipping words or lines, mixing up similar words, reversing letters, or having trouble following written directions.

These difficulties are often tied to how the eyes work together to move across a page and process visual information.
