Article: [senco-forum] b d confusion

Dear Dolina,

>From your message I'm not sure whether you are referring to confusion of
b-d (in your message title), or b-p, in your message. An old but effective
help with b-d confusion is to get the child to write 'bed' on a piece of
card to keep as a reminder for matching the sounds to the letter
orientations. Others have also mentioned the help which correct letter
formation gives.

Subject: [senco-forum] b d confusion


Hello, as a learning literacy support teacher I have got a new pupil (aged
14) today who is confusing b and p in her spelling.  Not sure yet whether
she can hear the difference but nothing noticeable in her reading as yet.
Can any helpful person give me some ideas and/or addresses of free resources
in form of worksheets or games which I can use with her?

Thanks

Dolina
