Goal: To immediately see each near or far target clearly. Students should ultimately be able to copy their spelling words or other material from the chalkboard or screen accurately and efficiently.
Equipment: Pencil, pen or thumbnail with a letter on it.
Schedule: Approximately 1 or 2 minutes, several times a day for about two to three weeks.
Activity: Students look at a letter on a pen or pencil (or thumbnail) they are holding, then look at a number on a clock across the room. Have them look back and fourth quickly getting a clear image each time, about ten to fifteen times.
