B and D Reversals

Shannon and Mary have a conversation about reversals of letters and numbers. Many parents and teachers are concerned about reversals, but the truth is that all reversals do need to be explicitly taught. Some children will make developmentally appropriate errors, while others are struggling with working memory, visual, and phonological processing. Direct instruction with model (verbal and visual cues) and demonstration is the only research-based strategy to help children correct their reversals.Resource Links:Bat and Ball; Drum and StickB is a bad, bad boy; D's like to talkLetter reversal posterGuest Blogger from Bay Tree Blog Ultimate Teacher's Guide to Letter and Number ReversalsHandwriting Without Tears Professional DevelopmentAnn Marie Morey - Free handwriting resourcesFollow Us:Our WebsiteInstagramShannon's TPT StoreSupport the Show.Get Literacy Support through our Patreon
