Letter and number reversals


I am often asked about the question of students reversing numbers and letters. As kindergarteners it is very common to reverse the numbers and letters especially b and d, p and q and more. This is  extremely common  and most likely developmental, meaning their brains are still trying to process this information. If you find your child reversing letters and/or numbers please do not worry. I found this article the help you understand this process a little better. http://www.cms4schools.com/nbps/faculty/klinev/newsfile9925_1.pdf

Here are some visuals that can help the students as well. If you noticed your children doing this, just point it out to them and have them redo.
