b's and d's By Melissa/1st/TN

I have heard of two different things to help with b and d reversals. One is the analogy of a bed (the word actuallylooks like a bed!) and have them say b-e-d, remembering how the "bed" looks drawn out.

the other one is to make "bd" glasses with their hands. Make OK signs with both hands, and put them together and up to your eyes. Keep them together and pull them back down, look at the "letters" your fingers are making, b is on the left hand and d is on the right hand ... in the order they come in the alphabet.

Hope I explained those clear enough! :confused:
