Personally, I am not only dedicated to the teaching of literacy, but also to the study of how to overcome the effects of TV in undermining literacy. There are specific physical exercises which can overcome the visual effects of TV watching, especially the use of the trampoline in grade school years. The fact that 90% of all learning disabilities relate only to the male population, points to one of the special TV effects in relation to the motor muscles of the eyes.
