"I was surprised at how effectively my son was evaluated and treated online for vision services! I felt rejected from local ophthalmologists trying to dismiss my concerns and not giving me a game plan to treat my son's amblyopia, saying that because he wasn't failing in school yet, that there was no problem. I'm so glad I decided to start him on [reading] vision [tutoring] early, and because of all the hard work, he really enjoys reading (and I even catch him reading big books "just for fun!!!"). The exercises were simple and manageable, and we got into a rhythm that game-ified it. His strabismus (eye misalignment) is completely healed (confirmed by an ophthalmologist). Working with Coach Michelle was a joy. She is extremely personable and patient with my wiggly son (and with me, as we navigated strategies to tailor specifically for our needs). She created an environment that was not overwhelming for my son, and was always very encouraging when he was trying new things. At 6 years old, my son just finished his first chapter book, all on his own. I'm so glad he never felt behind in his learning. We are so happy to have graduated, but so sad to not see Coach M anymore!" - Jett

“My daughter has made huge strides in her reading thanks to Michelle’s help at Eyes Up Reading. She really knows what she’s doing and my daughter looks forward to her lessons.” - Private

“I am so grateful I found out about this program when I was searching for a solution for my son Damian. We worked with his Amazing Coach Dr. Eldon McMuray. Damian struggled to read for many years. He would read a word, and then two lines down he would not know it was the same word. He would mix up P's B's and D's and couldn't seem to sound out words. I was at the point where I thought maybe he had dyslexia, or some other learning issue, but then Dr McMurray did an assessment on him and I found out that he had an eye tracking issue. I didn't even know there was such a thing. His eyes were not tracking properly together, which made it nearly impossible to read. We started doing the program. It was life-changing for him to be able to read and not struggle so much. His reading scores doubled if not tripled in some areas and he finally was able to read successfully. I will be forever grateful for Dr. McMurray and all of his hard work with Damian!! This program works miracles!!! If your child is struggling to read and you're looking for answers, this could be your solution as well!!” – Annica

"Reading had become a major source of frustration for my son Damian and I. I didn't understand why Damian was struggling so much to read when I knew he was highly intelligent. Damian started working with Dr. McMurray and had really significant growth within the first 3-4 months. This Program was an answer to our prayers!! We had finally found a solution that worked!!" - Isabella

“This program has been a life changer for us!! At the beginning of her 3rd grade year my daughter was reading below a first grade level. Her school that she had gone to since kindergarten was super helpful and we tried so many different programs and extra tutoring and nothing seemed to help. We were told it was normal or eventually things will click. We tried everything and we were beginning to start the process to see if she was dyslexic. At the beginning of her 4th grade year a friend asked if we had her eyes checked for tracking and gave us Dr. Eldon McMurray's number and let us know he does ... assessments. Sure enough she had a convergence insufficiency. After about 6 months of treatment over Zoom not only can she read but she tested only 22 points away from grade level at the end of 4th grade!! She went from a kid who couldn't read to a kid who can read with confidence and isn't embarrassed anymore!” - Jade

"I'm fourteen years old. I enjoy reading books and I read them quickly. A few years ago I started getting headaches when I would read for too long. After I started doing the eye exercises, I could read for much longer before I would get a headache. Over the summer break I read 26 books. Each book is a couple hundred pages. They were interesting books, so I would read them pretty fast. I think the eye exercises helped me be able to read for longer periods of time." - Sarah

"So about 4 months ago we went to Kaylee's eye doctor. She's been dealing with her lazy eye since she was about 2 years old. Her official diagnosis is strabismus, right eye estropia and amblyopia. Based on her eyes looked, he wanted to try plus glasses and then if that didn't help then look into surgery. I didn't love this even because the pre surgery sheet says it's a brain problem. But we ordered her the glasses. Anyway Dr. McMurray has suggested to read this book [Leo Angart’s Magic Eyes: Vision training for children] for a while and I just hadn't gotten around to it. So I finally read it and after 2 weeks of her wearing glasses we decided to try the suggestions from the book. So basically we have been doing the exercises in her bad eye to improve the vision in that eye to help with the crossing. They are on page 99 & 141 but I'd read the whole book. We have only done that exercise about 14 times along with her regular exercises from Dr. McMurray. On our home eye chart she started at 20/125 and before her follow up appointment 2 weeks ago she was at 20/40 in that right eye and the crossing doesn't happen. So we went to her appointment with her eye doctor and he was shocked at her progress! Told us to keep doing what we were doing and he wouldn't suggest glasses or surgery based on where she was at." - Private 

“My daughter just read and memorized the Declaration of Independence.” - Jennifer

“This program is what we were missing in our homeschool reading journey. It explained the reason to so many of the troubles we were facing. Why was it so hard to get the small words, why did the words seem to look different to them each time they saw it. This program works! It isn't a cover-up (a pill, a memorization, a work around) it is truly a fix and the fix I was searching for. Two of my children struggled with their eyes not meeting up at the same point and come to find out my husband struggles with the same thing. He had a lazy eye when he was younger. You would never have noticed this in them but as Dr. McMurray pointed out there was a significant misalignment that was able to be corrected. Before I met Dr. Eldon McMurray I had tried several reading programs and also went to the eye doctor and came back with them having 20/20 vision. Come to find out most eye doctors don't check for the alignment of the eyes which is where the problem was. Try this program. You won't be sorry you did.” - Michelle

“Working with Michelle Novak has been an absolute game-changer for our children. From the very first session, we saw immediate improvement in their reading skills. She has a natural gift for making lessons fun and engaging, and the kids genuinely look forward to their time with her. They love her sense of humor and how easy she is to talk to—she’s never intimidating, just encouraging and kind. Not only do they enjoy learning with her, but the progress they’ve made has been incredible. We’re so grateful we found her and I’ll forever be grateful for what she’s done for them!” - Private

"If anyone is needing a little extra help with a child who is struggling or needing to gain confidence in reading, I highly recommend

Eldon McMurray. We have used Eldon with several of our children over the years for everything from helping my dyslexic son learn to

read, to ACT prep... He is so patient and customizes the curriculum to the persons needs. He makes learning fun! He's based out of Utah county, but he works with his students over zoom, making it extremely convenient and easy!" - Private

“Coach M is amazing. We found her through friend of friend and couldn't be happier. My daughter enjoys her sessions and has not once complained about doing them. The zoom option has made it so convenient, yet still successful. Coach M has found different challenges and techniques that has helped my daughter so much. We have seen a huge difference, and her progress has been amazing. We would highly recommend this program and love it so much.” - Private
