[SENco-forum] b d p confusion-sounding it out

Sounding it out on a balloon helps.  Get the student to draw a bee and b
B,cursive b's all over the balloon and sound it out. B really does buzz.

Remember this was a b/p  problem initially - much closer mouth shape.  Still
the same - only teach one letter.  I teach the one that causes the most
confusion (i.e. they use one letter to represent both letters whether b/p or
b/d).

As am aside - I have yet to figure out if this problem is linked to
left/right handedness.  I currently have a left handed boy working on 'd'
and a right handed boy working on 'b'.  Anyone else noticed anything?
