What are some strategies to help the students with this reversal? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have shown students a graphic that shows the word"bed" as an actual bed.Then, I ask these student to write the word "bed" on the top of their paper. i say "put your name to bed!". You'd be surprised how much this helps!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think that this is a great solution, as it servers as a great visual. Students at this age are better learners when they can see it, then they can apply it. This is also a good word to use because if they forget which one is which they can say the alphabet and they will see that "b" is before "d". Same with the order of the letters in the word "bed".
