About us
Wise Eye Reading Academy was established more than 20 years ago. The programme assists poor readers to become better readers and good readers to become exceptional readers. A good reader has confidence that relates to a good self-image. This will enable readers to achieve their full potential.
Wise Eye Reading Academy currently has more than 60 Principal Members national and international in countries like Mauritius, Namibia and Zambia, which includes, amongst others, Optometrists, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Teachers and Mothers.
The Wise Eye Reading Programme establishes a strong foundation for reading by developing all the sub-skills needed to read effectively. Wise Eye Reading Academy’s vision is to help readers achieve the end goal in reading, namely to achieve optimal reading speed with comprehension.
Wise Eye Reading Academy focuses on the following:
- Effective eye muscle movement
- Vocabulary
- Fluency while reading, which increases reading speed
- Comprehension
Therapy courses and the wide range of Wise Eye products are graded for children from 6 months old and up, as well as for adults of any age. At Wise Eye, children sign up for the reading course that comes to an end once the readers have reached their full potential. Reading is seen as a skill that needs to be mastered and not an extramural activity or class that children join year after year. Parents tend to readily buy into this programme, as the programme delivers results and they see the programme as an investment in their child’s future. Parents appreciate the fact that the reading progress is continuously monitored scientifically.
