visual acuity and ocular coordination to being able to reading and reading comprehension. Furthermore, Li points out that vision is associated with 70 to 80 percent of all tasks that  occur within the context of educational instruction (Li 38). This article, first of all, discusses the importance of vision and then offers specific strategies that teachers can employ to help  students develop ocular coordination. While Li addresses this topic specifically in regards to disabled students, she also points out that the strategies and activities described in her article are "not  just for pullout programs" but are also applicable in the general classroom (Li 38). In order to learn, Li writes that visual skills impact five specific areas: visual acuity;  visual field; ocular motility; accommodation and visual perceptual skills (Li 38). If a student has difficulty in any of these areas, learning problems result. For example, in reading, a child  needs to have the visual spatial skills to determine the difference between "d" and "b" and to discriminate between words in a passage (Li 38). If a child has vision  problems, this may manifest as a lack of interest in reading and writing (Li 38). The classroom strategies outlined by Li are designed for elementary age students who have  a basic knowledge of the alphabet and math; however, by either simplifying or enhancing the content of these strategies, they can be adapted to any elementary aged group. This visual  training not only benefits reading, but aids student in developing the ocular coordination necessary for most sports. For example, ocular coordination is required for tracking a ball. The first strategy  that Li suggests is to create a 10 x 10 chart (10 rows and 10 columns of letters and numbers) and place this roughly five to ten feet from the
