Okay kiddo, have you ever played a game where you had to search for things hidden in a picture? Like "Where's Waldo?" or "I Spy"? Vision span is kind of like that game.
But instead of playing a game, it's about how much of a picture or a sentence you can see and understand at one time without having to move your eyes to look at a different part.
Imagine you're reading a book and you can only see one word at a time without moving your eyes. That's a small vision span. But if you can see a whole sentence or even a paragraph at once, that's a bigger vision span.
Having a bigger vision span can help you read faster and understand more, because you don't have to keep moving your eyes as much. It's like being able to see more of the picture at once when you're playing the hidden object game.
So, vision span is about how much you can see and understand without moving your eyes around a lot. The bigger it is, the easier it is to read and learn.
