Letter Olympics - For B/D Reversals
Grades Kindergarten-2, Inclusion,
switch accessible, Win/Mac
Young learners and students with
dyslexia alike will love taking the sporting challenges while
working on b and d reversals.
Activities cover recognition, discrimination, and differentiation
for lower case letters b and d, with full auditory and visual
instructions emphasizing accurate sound pronunciation of the b and d
phonemes.
Letter Olympics is an innovative new resource designed to aid
learners with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. It
provides a useful addition to any structured learning program and is
ideal for use as a therapy tool as well as with the inclusive
mainstream classroom.
Children up to 7 commonly reverse the letters b and d, but ongoing
reversals are sometimes a cause for concern and may need extra
support. Persistent letter reversals or confusion may affect
literacy development and can result in reading and spelling errors,
frustration and poor self-esteem.
Activities:
• Visual motor and letter formation
• Visual memory and sequential memory
• Visual Closure
• Visual discrimination
• Figure ground skills
• Spatial memory, inference and deduction
Sporting themes:
• hurdles
• track races
• ice hockey
• diving
• tennis
• skiing
• motor
• racing
• golf
• 10 pin bowling.
For example, within the skiing theme, the user has to complete a
downhill slalom course as fast as possible following a course made
up of b and d slalom poles!
There is an extensive range of printable records, worksheets and
clip art. Excellent teacher resources and ideas are available and
can be printed from the Teacher Notes folder on the CD-ROM. Teacher
options enable the activities to be tailored specifically to the
needs of the individual. Devised by occupational therapists and
specialist teachers, this unique CD-ROM is dual format, switch
accessible and comes with both US and UK accent sports commentators
