📚 Letter Reversal Mastery Class 🚀 Is your learner struggling with letter reversals like b/d, p/q? Join this flex class, designed to provide practical strategies and exercises to overcome these common challenges in letter recognition and writing. 🎥 Important note 🗒️. This is a self-paced class. Learners will not meet live. Instead, the course uses videos, worksheets, and interactive games to help learners master b/d, p/q, m/w, and additional letter confusion once and for all! First, learners will understand WHY these letters are so easy to confuse, including some pretty amazing things about how the brain works! Next, participants will delve into a dynamic curriculum tailored to address specific letter pairs, focusing on building a strong foundation in letter recognition. Through a combination of interactive activities, visual aids, and hands-on (and mouths on!) exercises, learners will gain the tools and confidence needed to differentiate between mirror-image letters. Instead of offering a strategy based solely on visualizing, we will use a multi-sensory approach, giving students a number of points of reference for reading and writing with these letters. Customized Learning: I understand that each learner is unique. I offer personalized guidance to cater to individual learning styles and needs. I will respond to all questions about these letters and more, providing individual assistance until you feel confident you'll be able to continue practicing independently. 📹 Video Curriculum: Video 1: Focus on WHY letter reversals are common. Letters b/d Video 2: p/q Video 3: "hook" letters (f, j, g, q, y, s(z)) and basement letters (g, j, y, p/q), Video 4: "magic c" letters, m/w Video 5: Bonus!
