Why do young learners flip or reverse letters when they start reading and writing? In this bite-sized episode Dr. Gina Pepin sheds light on one of the most common concerns in early literacy—letter transpositions! Discover why these mix-ups happen, when they're simply a normal part of development, and how to patiently support students as they learn the differences between “b” and “d” or “was” and “saw.”

Dr. Pepin breaks down the developmental, visual, and memory factors behind letter reversals, and shares practical, multisensory strategies for helping students master tricky letters. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or literacy coach, tune in for encouragement, insight, and tips to help every young writer grow with confidence!
