Re: Helping children tell the difference between 6 and 9
One thing I have done when kids are stuck on a reversal like this is to pick one of the letters or numbers, let's say 6 and practice that one a lot, in a lot of different ways, and don't practice 9 at all for awhile. Practice it lots of different ways, markers, pencil, chalk, shaving cream etc and give it time. Wait until she can always write a 6 correctly without hesitation, and then work on 9 again.
