Stubbornly confusing d and b

Author: Tanja Damhof

Webshop owner and mother

Some subjects have already been given a lot of thought. Via Facebook I called on people to share their ideas about the question: what do you do with children who persistently confuse d and b ? A recurring theme in learning the alphabet, in children with dyslexia or automation problems. Because every child is different and thinks differently, the same method does not work for everyone. Look closely at the child, see what fits his way of learning, of information processing and if necessary let the child think along.

A home made mnemonic is still the best ;)

1. On the Pinterest page of a group 4 teacher I found this beautiful picture of big buttocks

In the comments, another idea:
"The elephant's fat buttocks. Also nice with the song; "they can say what they want"."

But the call on Facebook also yielded results:

2. Exercise therapist Marieke sends this photo:
Lazy 8 practice , with d on the left and b on the right and then indeed name them.

3. " The hands form the letters . Good reminder for my sons." writes Sabine.

4. And Marjon van Oefentherapie Hoogezand writes for the abstract thinker: "When you approach this abstractly , the stem of the reading letters is on the left (b) or right (d) and for the writing letters the loop of b is on the left and the stem of d is on the right . This only works when left and right are used correctly."

5. In the sensorimotor area you can work with tactile letters . Then use sandpaper letters or have the letters made with clay.

Do you have any ideas? I'd love to hear them!

Feeling letters

/

Get to know the letter shape and correct writing direction without pen and paper, right from the start.
Because multiple senses are involved, the shapes with their correct trace are remembered more quickly. Combine the letters with sand or shaving foam, for example, so that the felt trace can be immediately recreated yourself. Or search for the letter shapes with your eyes closed in a sandbox or tactile box.
Due to the texture of the relief, the material self-corrects when the traces on the letters are followed with the finger.

SiliShapes Feeling Letters

The SiliShapes Trace Alphabet set features pink silicone letters in a child-friendly font, ideal for learning letter recognition and the alphabet. The dot pattern within the letters provides a tactile way for children to trace the shape of each letter with their finger, while the arrows help them learn the correct formation of the letters.
The letters are made of a unique translucent silicone, which makes them ultra-soft and flexible. This makes them safe and pleasant to touch for children of all ages. They are perfect to use on a light panel, where children can experiment with their colorful transparency, or during play activities with sand and water, on the floor, or as part of a display.
The letters are easy to clean with soapy water or by placing them in the dishwasher at a high temperature.
