Case: Writing Numbers and Letters Backwards
Mrs. Allen is a Kindergarten teacher and she notices that a student in her class writes many of his letters and numbers backwards. Mrs. Allen knows (or assumes) what he means on his work, but she fears that this will become a greater concern later in his educational career. Is this a common occurrence, or should she be concerned?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I noticed this once with one of the kids I babysit. He was dyslexic. This does not necessarily mean he is also dyslexic, but it is a possibility. She should not worry, but it can be a larger problem in the future if not corrected. Practice tracing letters, letter recognition, and other concepts of print such as reading from left to right. |

Comments: While the kids age could be the only factor we're looking at, dyslexia is a very real impairment that affects many people. It would be worth the time to get the child tested by mid-year. |

Comments: I agree with your solution in the sense that giving the child practice sheets with the outlines of letters will help them follow the pattern and maybe reverse their habits of writing letters and numbers backwards. However, if it still continues after practice sheets I think the parents should be notified and the child may need to be tested for dyslexia. |

Comments: Tracing letters would definitely help the student understand what way the letter is supposed to be written. The practice will also help commit this to memory. |

Comments: I think this is a great idea. I have come across many students who had trouble writing their letters correctly, none of them had a disability, they just needed more practice. Having them trace letters is a great way to correct this mistake! |
