Does your child get b and d confused?

Many children often confuse lowercase "b" and "d" because these letters are visually similar and involve a simple switch of orientation. The main challenge lies in the fact that both letters consist of a straight line and a rounded part, but the placement of these elements differs. The "b" has the rounded part on the right of the vertical line, while the "d" has it on the left. This can be particularly confusing for young learners who are just beginning to differentiate between similar shapes and orientations. As children develop their reading skills, visual aids and practice can help them distinguish between these letters more easily.


This poster is how I taught my children, both at home and while I was a Title 1 Paraprofessional helping children improve their reading skills.
