Abstract

My daughter, who is nearly 10 years old, still confuses b and d when she writes. Her teachers have not made an issue of this difficulty until now but as she will be changing schools quite soon they feel it is time she learned to overcome it.They have been trying to help her to discriminate the two which they call ‘bat and ball’ letters but have not succeeded so far. Is there any other method that would be likely to help? I gather that although most children have ceased to confuse b and d by the age of 10 several still do and that they usually grow out of it within a year or two. Meanwhile her father has an accumulating collection of birthday cards and letters addressed to ‘Dear baddy’ (or ‘babby’).
