IRLEN LENSES DO NOT TEACH SOMEONE TO READ!
Irlen lenses are merely an aide to help someone see the words more clearly, focus on the page and start to learn the words more efficiently.
Unfortunately there are a lot of people in the community who believe Irlen lenses do not work because their child, or some one else's child isn't instantly a good reader, or that their child makes a huge leap in reading ability but then that progress slows down.
WHY IS THAT?
This is because their learning does not continue past their current ability. For example a Year 5 child may be a very poor reader, they get their glasses and make a huge jump to maybe a Year 4 level. But they have missed out on the foundations such as phonetics and sight word knowledge that allows them to keep moving forward and learning new words. Without intensive revision, reading practice at home as well as at school further progress will be slow.
IRLEN LENSES DO NOT TEACH READING, JUST GIVE THE ABILITY TO SEE AND CONCENTRATE!
