Do reading homework
When letters jump and lines slip away, the real question is not how the page looks but how long the road is. The visual support below makes the remaining distance visible page by page.

About this visual support
Reading homework has two enemies. The first is the text itself, where letters can tilt, swap places or blur. The second is the invisibility of how much is left – when every line feels like a page and every page like a whole evening, there is no direction to hold on to.
Visual support attacks the second enemy directly. When each page or paragraph is its own card, the child can point to where they are right now and watch the remaining cards shrink to a number they can actually count. What is left becomes concrete instead of endless, and that is often where the resistance lets go.
A concrete tip: include a ruler or pointing-finger picture as a reminder to cover the line below the one being read. The eyes stop falling downward, and one line at a time becomes the only thing visible. To add a gentle reading timer of five or ten minutes between cards, you can build the sequence in Routined and try the app free for 14 days.
