b /d Confusion and reversals (Video and Worksheet Combo)

Two letters that often cause most reversals or confusion are the ‘b’ and ‘d’ sounds.  To prevent letter confusion and reversals, it is important that these letters begin in the right place and are formed in the correct way.  When children learn to form their letters in a fun, multi-sensory way, the unnecessary reversal of ‘b’ and ‘d’ can be reduced or avoided.

This resource was created by an occupational therapist and  focuses on letter formation, as well as visual and auditory perception exercises to prevent ‘b’ and ‘d’ confusion and reversals. The animation video demonstrates a 3-step strategy that can be applied every time a ‘b’ or ‘d’ is written. The correct starting point and formation of letters will contribute to preventing/reducing the reversal of letters during writing tasks.

 The program can be used by parents, therapists and educators as part of the teaching process, homework or therapy. 

It includes the following.

• Animated Video
• Variety of worksheets and activities
• Perceptual and auditory worksheets and activities
• Classroom Posters
• Playdough Mats
