B and D letter reversals

Writing  the letters b and d, and p and g backwards are quite common through 1st grade and even into 2nd grade. By halfway through 2nd grade, if students aren't self-correcting, they need more direct instruction and practice with it. Here is a collection of things you can try to help them correct it!

With a pencil, lightly write a capital B at the top of your page. The lower case b will fit inside of it. When you’re done with your writing, erase your B and no one will ever know that you needed it. This is a crutch until he can write it independently without the prompt.
