Do you mean visually? Like losing which line you were on? I'd suggest using a book mark or some type of straight edge and lining it up with the line you're reading.

That's probably bc of the muscle difficulties caused by CP. I have a lazy eye, so I can sort of relate (maybe?)I can control it when I'm happy and well rested, but I start to see double when I'm sleepy. I've been told my eye goes when I'm angry, too. Apparently, the look is quite unnerving :lol:

Pan is right. Using a ruler to help you focus on one line at a time is the best way to get around that.
