Learners Carry 'b' and 'd' With Them Where Ever They Go

Reversals are very common for many young learners even up to the age of seven (7). This needs to be taken more seriously when reversals also accompany signs of an individual who is struggling with other aspects of learning as well.

LETTERS© has designed a strategy to help all learners with their 'b', 'd', 'p', and 'q' reversals.  

Do the "thumbs up" sign with both hands. Turn your hands to face you.
Notice the left hand "thumbs up" forms a 'b'.

Learners can use their own 'p' and 'q' "thumbs down" to form words, like the example shown below for the word 'pit':

Let them tell you and then work with that.
