b and d Reversals Solved!

Visual cues often do not help students because they CAN'T differentiate the orientation of the letters. Instead, use muscle memory for the formation of b and d. This strategy has worked for some students when all else has failed. We’d love to know your thoughts and feedback!

I also draw a "b" as a person with a big belly, and someone wearing a diaper for d.
b – belly, d – diaper

Try not to pick up the “pencil” when forming each letter (i.e ‘d’), be sure it is “one” motion and not picking up the pencil.

Great Job on using the different starting point location when forming the letters :)
