GEMSTONE FOUNDATION
The purpose of this research grant is to explore the relationship between visual skills and reading using rigorous scientific methods in school settings. Students in grades 3-5 will be assessed for visual skills (convergence, divergence, accommodative facility, tracking, and associated symptoms) and their results compared to reading fluency. Students with similar visual skills and similar reading levels wiill be randomly assigned to either a group that will receive visual skill training or to one that will not. Visual skills and reading fluency will be re-assessed after the experimental group has participated in 30 sessions of the training program. We expect to observe significant improvement in visual skill level and in reading performance as measured by the school as well as the experimenters.

| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
In the third quarter of 2012, we obtained reading scores (standardized) from every school, and we concentrated on data analysis. To that end, we held an Evaluation Meeting in August, where everyone who worked on the project discussed and wrote their comments/experiences, and added critiques of the project. Data entry is complete, including re-checks of paper records against computer records. As of the end of the project, therefore, all datta are in and the PI will carry out statistical analysis and writing of the papers with separate funding. We still anticipate that there will be at least 2 and perhaps 3 papers resulting from the work. |
