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!) My son had this same problem. We even had him tested for dyslexia. He has no trouble reading or understanding text. He simply could not get his b's and d's correct! We started having him write words beginning with each letter and writing each "b" and "d" in a separate color from the rest of the words. Then he could easily see his mistakes because the colors would be off. It seemed to work well, and didn't seem as a punishment.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I would not use this solution.
