Something else I try with my kids is to see if they can identify that their letter is written backwards. I do this by pointing to the correct letter on an alphabet chart on their desk or by writing the letter myself on a piece of paper. If they can tell the difference and/or fix it then I don't worry about it any further and know that it will correct itself later on. To be quite honest, because I know it's age appropriate, I primarily give this prompt when a parent is concerned about this and then usually with the parent present so they can see that it's OK. Sometimes, I just suggest that they try this at home with their child. Elisa
