End b/d Confusion!

To help your kids tell the difference between a "b" and a "d," tell them that the "b" has the /b/ /b/ bat first, while the "d" has the /d/ /d/ daddy's face (or the /d/ /d/ donut) first.  Then have them practice telling you which is which and why!  If they still continue to switch the two, keep reminding them of this trick and continue to quiz them!  (Old habits can be hard to break!)

All the best and much success,
Katy Huller

Another trick that could be used is to form an 'o' with your thumb and your index finger with the rest of the fingers forming a straight line pointing to the sky. The left hand forms 'b' whilst the right hand forms 'd'. You can ask the child to imagine an 'e' in between and the word makes 'bed'.
