I made these little cards with the lowercase b, d, h, and n and inside the lowercase I wrote the uppercase of that letter (he has no problem with the uppercase). We cover the uppercase with a magnet and he says what letter he thinks it is, then uncovers it to check himself. Does anyone have any other ideas for how I can help him learn to differentiate these letters? A rhyme maybe? Or a different way of thinking about it?
You can order cards to go along with the book or you can make your own. I had a ton of index cards so I decided to make our own.

Emma gets those confused sometimes too. There are a few letters that she writes backward.
What made you decide on this book? I bought a different one, but haven't started it with Em yet. I'm still reading the Parent's Intro.
The author, Jessie Wise, co-authored The Well-Trained Mind which I had read upon Betsy's recommendation. I really like it, but I didn't look around at other books so I can't compare. It's very simple though and it is working so that's exciting!
For "b" have him think "bat and then ball". Hope this helps!
