A Quick Note About Letter B Reversal Issues

Letter b and letter d are easily the most confusing letters of the alphabet for young children.

The large majority of kids will struggle with correctly identifying them, and that’s super normal.

Worksheet practice will help over time, but it is much better to start early with a strategy to help them remember the difference.

For my kids, that meant holding up their hands like “finger glasses.” I showed them how to sound out b-e-d, and then explained that their fingers spell that word if they had an /e/ between their hands.

So when they weren’t sure, I would ask them to hold their fingers up and check for themselves.

This is a fun way to give kids confidence to quickly tell the difference and avoid future frustration.

As you introduce the below letter b worksheets, be sure to start pointing out how they can make their left hand look like a lowercase letter b!

Ask them to do the same things with their right hand. Does it work? Nope!

When you start working through the letter d in a couple of weeks, you can introduce the right hand!

Letter B Tracing Worksheet - 1

This first page is a great way to kick off your kid’s early writing practice!

Encourage your student to trace the dotted letters at the top of the page. Follow the numbers and arrows to make sure they print the letter correctly.

My own kids always found it tedious to follow the order, but it does make a big difference. If you try to make the “bumps” first and then add the stick, you run the risk of them not touching.

Then it looks like a lowercase /l/ and backward c or 3 – woops!

It is much better to make your “stick” first and then add on your bumps. This order will be important for future letters too – /m/, /n/, /r/.

Finish the sheet by having your child trace the lowercase letters and uppercase letters.

This practice sheet will give your young learners another chance to follow the arrows and trace the dotted lines.

If tracing is proving too much for their developing fine motor skills, tell your child that they can trace every other letter.

They can come back and finish the rest of the letters during morning work the following day or some other time.

Ask them to color the ball, and then ask why there is a basketball instead of a soccer ball on the page. 

A good introduction to letter sounds!

Ask them if they can think of another kind of bat.

Which is a wonderful way to introduce homophones!
