Many of the latter are included in the phonological awareness section. Auditory skills which are not included in that section, such as auditory short-term memory, can be found here.

Visual Tracking. For reading, your eyes move along written text by fixating on a word and then making a small jump to the next word. If you do not have smooth eye tracking, then you may: skip words, skip lines, move your head too much when reading, use your finger to keep your place when reading, have trouble comprehending what you read or be unable to catch, throw, hit or kick a ball with accuracy.
