Children learning to read and write are demanding a lot of their young brains. Young learners need to be able to recognise all of the upper and lowercase letters as well as be aware of the sounds each letter makes. In addition, there are letter combinations to understand, sight words to memorise and pencil grips to master. All of this can be taxing enough, even before one pauses to consider the fact that written language was designed when human beings had little understanding of how the brain processes what the eyes see.<\/p>\n

The Root of the Problem<\/strong><\/h1>\n

If a wolf wanders into view, we need to be able to recognise it immediately as such in order to take action. If the wolf is facing left, it\u2019s a wolf. If it\u2019s facing right? Still a wolf. For obvious reasons, the brain is programmed to determine what our eyes are seeing irrespective of the angle from which it is being viewed.<\/p>\n

The letters of the alphabet were not designed with this fact in mind, however. For children taking their first steps in deciphering written language, this often leads to confusion.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”is-my-child-sleep-deprived” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#796cb1″ custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

Letter Reversals<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fromapixel.com\/lcentralold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/LCentral-English-Enrichment-Tuition-Singapore-Why-Does-my-Child-Confuse-b-and-d-letter-reversals.jpg” alt=”LCentral English Enrichment Tuition Singapore Developing Pre-reading Skills Vocabulary” title_text=”LCentral English Enrichment Tuition Singapore Why Does my Child Confuse b and d letter reversals” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_padding=”30px||0px||false|false” locked=”off”]For the reasons mentioned above, letter reversals are fairly commonplace. When viewing young learners\u2019 work, it is not unusual to see letters like \u2018r\u2019 \u2018c\u2019 \u2018f\u2019 and \u2018s\u2019 written backwards. The brain does not recognise the direction they face as crucial to their identification. However, as these letters do not have a mirror opposite, children are unlikely to confuse them with another letter; a backward \u2018f\u2019 is still an \u2018f\u2019. <\/p>\n

Letters like \u2018b\u2019 and \u2018d\u2019 are particularly problematic because they are the same shape in reverse. As with the wolf facing left or right, our brains want to see them as the same thing. The letters \u2018p\u2019 and \u2018q\u2019 cause a similar problem, as do \u2018m\u2019 and \u2018w\u2019 (although in this case they are the same shape facing up and down). When we ask children to differentiate between these shapes based solely on their orientation, we are asking them to override a function that has existed for thousands and thousands of years. It\u2019s little wonder that most children take time to get it right![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”what-is-healthy-sleep” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#796cb1″ custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

How Long Will it Take?<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fromapixel.com\/lcentralold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/LCentral-English-Enrichment-Tuition-Singapore-Why-Does-my-Child-Confuse-b-and-d-how-long-will-it-take.jpg” alt=”LCentral English Enrichment Tuition Singapore Developing Pre-reading Skills Language and Comprehension” title_text=”LCentral English Enrichment Tuition Singapore Why Does my Child Confuse b and d how long will it take” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_padding=”30px||0px||false|false” locked=”off”]All children learn at different paces. Some will master certain skills quickly while others take time. Even students who seem to be excelling in reading and writing can still confuse \u2018b\u2019 and \u2018d\u2019 when decoding or spelling words. When a child makes a mistake like this, it\u2019s a good idea to gently remind them verbally. For example if a child makes the \u2018d\u2019 sound when looking at the letter \u2018b\u2019 gently remind them by simply naming the letter. On most occasions, the child will then make the correct sound. They do know there is a difference between \u2018b\u2019 and \u2018d\u2019 but the part of the brain that requires \u2018rewiring\u2019 in order to make the distinction has not caught up. This is perfectly normal, and with practice the problem normally resolves itself before a child is nine years old.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”how-can-I-ensure-my-childs-sleep-is-healthy” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#796cb1″ custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

How can I help?<\/h1>\n

One of the easiest, especially when teaching letter sounds, is to use the uppercase letters. As they are different shapes, children should have no issues making the correct sound when shown the letter.<\/p>\n

Of course, once children begin reading and writing, the lowercase symbols are unavoidable, but there are many strategies available to parents to assist with \u2018b\u2019 and \u2018d\u2019 confusion. You can remind children that \u2018b\u2019 comes first in the alphabet and that both letters \u2018always face each other.\u2019 Draw a smiling face in each letter\u2019s loop so the idea of the two letters facing each other is clear to children.<\/p>\n

You can also make use of the child\u2019s free hand when they are writing. Making a loop with the thumb and index finger while leaving the other fingers straight will form a \u2018b\u2019 with the left hand and a \u2018d\u2019 with the right. This strategy can be combined with the teaching of the fact that \u2018b\u2019 and \u2018d\u2019 always face each other. Other strategies include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Making the shape of a bed with the word \u2018bed\u2019<\/li>\n
  • Teaching that b has a \u2018belly\u2019 and d has a \u2018diaper\u2019<\/li>\n
  • Placing posters of the letters near objects that begin with that letter (bed, door, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Showing children that lowercase \u2018b\u2019 \u2018fits inside\u2019 uppercase \u2018B\u2019<\/li>\n
  • Demonstrating that when writing \u2018d\u2019 we start with a \u2018c\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The most important thing parents can do to help their children with \u2018b\u2019 and \u2018d\u2019 is to remember that it is not usually a cause for concern.\u00a0 Many students will reverse letters as the brain reprogrammes itself to recognise them as distinct symbols. Keep reminders gentle and make practice sessions fun and before long, your child will no longer be confusing \u2018b\u2019 and \u2018d.\u2019<\/p>\n
