Testimonial
"I was introduced to the Wise Eye programme in 2005 – my daughter who was in Gr 6 at the time was really struggling at school.
She was coping with term work, but seemed to take huge strain during exam time. After spending some time with her preparing for her end of year exams, I realized that she was struggling to read and to comprehend basic subject matter. I approached her school, who said that they did not believe she had any problems and there was nothing to be concerned about. I decided to take her to the Wise Eye office in Pinetown, where she had a Visagraph assessment, this revealed her visual reading ability to be at a Level 2."
We started the programme in the 1st term of Gr 7 and what a life changing experience it was for her – not just from a reading perspective, but her demeanor and self confidence improved dramatically. She completed her Gr 7 year with ease and was even awarded 3 academic prizes. It had been a struggle to get her to read any type of material before, however immediately after Wise Eye, she requested several reading books which she read in record time. She is now part of a book club and is still going strong.
