Focus Makes it Easier

These devices are a simple, yet clever solution to the challenges parents face when trying to get a child to read or do a math problem. They see a whole page of material and just shut down.

Simply put the frame over the part you want the child to focus on and assure them they only have to work on the visible part for now. Some of the frames have a full border with a clear space in the middle – and they come in two sizes. Others have a large border and a single line across the top for highlighting a line of text.

These frames address color sensitivity such as the theoretical disorder, scotopic sensitivity. More information on this disorder can be found on Wikipedia.

Quibbles & Bits

The graphic above does not do this product justice. Imagine being able to focus only on the work at hand, then closing your book and finding your place with the frame ready to keep your eyes on task. Where they eyes are, the rest of the thought process (reading, assimilating, synthesizing, etc) is not far behind. A set of single line frames comes in handy as bookmarks. They’re there when the student comes back to the book where they can then be used to force the eyes to read only one line at a time.

Focus Frames are only one example of the creative products available from the Boring family on their Web site and in the booth they sponsor at curriculum fairs. The Heads Up booth is the first place one of our boys heads when we go to our homeschool convention. The Borings are friendly, knowledgeable and anything but what their name implies.
