Evaluation Protocol Record: 1. Number of words read at one time? one, two, etc... 2. Reads word looked at or how many words ahead? 3. Reads same line as looking at? a) Which words or letters are reversed or confused? d & b, d
& p, p & q, s & z, m & n, i & e, l & t,
o & p, h & y, h & n, at & it,
saw & was, one & on, no & on, what & that, when

c) Easy loss of place? ____________________________ d) Do words jump from one line to another or to the other side of the page? Is there blurring or waviness of words? (May need to ask as smudging, vibrating, fuzzy not clear, dancing or blinking words.) Do words move together, change or lose letters? Do words squeeze together in a line of letters or do the fronts or ends of words disappear? e) Fabrication and anticipation (Makes up words and anticipates words that are not present? Rereads? 2.) Dominant Eye? Right __________ Left ___________ (Often attempts to read only with one eye, the dominant eye. They may read with subtle blocking of non-dominant eye with hands or turns head slightly to read.) The dominant eye may be easily assessed by pointing a finger at the room ceiling corner with both eyes open. Closing one eye and then the other will cause the finger to move when the non-dominant eye is open. The dominant eye is determined by which open eye fails to cause the finger to move or move only slightly. A simply method is to take a piece of 8 x 10 inch paper and punch a pencil diameter size hole through the center. Holding the paper at arms' length, the individual is instructed to move the paper toward them and look through the hole. Each will look through the hole with the dominant eye. 3.) Stereoscopic penny exercise (With and without index finger, if possible.) Date Started. _________________. 4.) Capable of holding three pennies as long as desired without index finger. Date ______________________. 5.) Scans all three pennies (With and without index finger). Do not continue until accomplished with ease and all three pennies are clearly seen. 6.) Use of four penny diamond. Date ______________________. 7.) Column reading for ability. Instructed to read while looking at the top of a word. At each instruction period, encourage to read rapidly and continue well beyond their reading fatigue point. Date ______________________. (All reading and writing material is placed slightly toward the non-dominant eye side.) 8.) Instructed to write while looking at the tops of words as they form. Date ______________________. 9.) Date of
no further reversals ______________________. 10.) Scotoma (Dark spot in eye) Family history
