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!)
When I taught pre-k, I found it to be quite common for my students to write letters and numbers backwards, especially if they were left handed. I made copies of the alphabet and numbers for them to trace, I laminated them so that they could use them over and over. I think it is just something that needs to be practiced and seen repetitively. |

| Comments: Agreed. At this age, it's a common occurrence. If the number of backwards letters seems to be extraordinarily high compared to the student's peers, then yes, consult the parents and make note of it for continued observation and correction over time. |
