Fixing b-d Confusion
Contents
I. Overview ................................................................................ 1
I. OVERVIEW
A student who mixes up b and d needs focused, frequent, consistent practice to eliminate the confusion.
GRADES 1 AND HIGHER
The focused practice for students in grades 1 and higher is a three-step, multi-sensory process
detailed on pages 2–7.
In Steps 1 and 2, the student names letters, half of which are b’s or d’s. In Step 3, the student reads
words with the letters b and d such as cod, cob, dad, bad, bid, and did to ensure he can read the
letters correctly in these potentially confusing words with b’s and d’s.
The student masters the goal for each step before moving to the next step. When the goal for the
third step is mastered, the student should rarely or never confuse the letters b and d when reading.
KINDERGARTEN
Additional initial practice for a kindergarten student is detailed on page 3. A kindergarten student
gets more practice learning how the b-hand works, and his practice pages have slightly larger letters.
In addition, he practices only Steps 1 and 2. He does not read words.
GOALS, DAILY PRACTICE, AND MASTERY
The goals for each step are:
Step 1: Accurately name letters while putting the b-hand next to the letters b and d to check
Step 2: Accurately name letters without using the b-hand to check
Step 3: Accurately read words with b and d without using the b-hand to check (not used in
kindergarten)
During daily practice, the student names letters or reads words until he names all letters or reads all
words in three rows correctly, with no errors or self-corrections. These rows do not have to be
consecutive.
The student demonstrates mastery of a step by naming letters or reading words in the first 3 lines
attempted with no errors or self-corrections 3 days in a row. These are three consecutive rows.
100% ACCURACY
To eliminate b-d confusion, the student needs to practice until he consistently achieves 100%
accuracy. Self-corrections are always counted as errors because the student needs to be correct the
first time and every time he reads a word with a b or d.
DAILY ONE-ON-ONE PRACTICE
The most effective practice is when a teacher works daily with one student at a time. Practicing one-
on-one generally takes 3–5 minutes daily. Practice three days a week is the minimum recommended.
Practicing less often may not result in any improvement.
It may be necessary to practice in a small group. Page 8 has directions for small group practice.
THE B-HAND
The b-hand is a multi-sensory anchor that the student uses to know with confidence
whether a letter is a b or a d. All students learn the b-hand in Step 1 on page 2. The
student places his b-hand next to the letters b and d, and he compares the shape of
his b-hand with the shape of the letter. If the vertical line of the letter is on the same
side as the thumb, the letter is a b. If the vertical line on the letter is on the opposite
side as the thumb, the letter is a d.
Readsters teaches only the b-hand, and not a d-hand, because some students can be confused about
which hand is which. When a student uses only the b-hand, if the letter “matches” the b-hand, it is a
b, and if the letter doesn’t match the b-hand, it is a d.

3. Show the student that the b-hand has the same shape as the letter ‘b’.
• Point out that the student’s fist with the extended thumb looks like the letter b. The ball of the fist
is like the circle on the b. The extended thumb is like the line.
• Point out that the extended thumb is on the same side of the fist as the line on the letter b. Explain
that the student will know the letter is a b when his thumb is on the same side of the circle as the
line on the b.
Note: If the student points out that his right hand looks like a d, acknowledge that it does. Tell the
student that he won’t need a d-hand for this practice because if the letter does not look like the b-
hand, it is a d.
4. Show the student how to use the b-hand to tell the difference between 'b' and 'd'.
• The student places the b-hand immediately to the left of letter b at the bottom of the page.
1. Teacher asks: Is that letter a ‘b’ or a ‘d’?
2. Student answers: ‘B’.
3. Teacher asks: How do you know?
4. Student answers something similar to: Because the line on the letter is on
the same side as my thumb.
• The student places his b-hand immediately to the left of letter d at the bottom of the page.
1. Teacher asks: Is that letter a ‘b’ or a ‘d’?
2. Student answers: ‘D’.
3. Teacher asks: How do you know?
4. Student answers something similar to: Because the line on the letter is not
on the same side as my thumb.
ALTERNATIVE B-HAND
Some teachers elect to make a b-hand by making fist and extending the index finger (instead of a
thumb). In this case, Step 2 would read:
• First, show how to make a • Next, show how to extend
fist and place it next to the the index finger so that it
letter b at the top of the points the same direction
page. as the line on the b.

Fixing b-d Confusion
GROUP MANAGEMENT
• When one student names letters or reads words, the other students are Checkers.
• Checkers track and mark errors for the reader.
- Checkers use their pencils to track the letters the student is naming. (The teacher
must be vigilant about making this happen so they stay engaged.)
- Checkers mark an X above any letter or word the student misreads.
• The teacher tracks and marks errors on a copy of the practice page.
Thumbs Up
• After a student finishes each line, teacher says: Checkers?
- Checkers give a ‘thumbs up’ if the student correctly named the letters or words.
- Checkers put up a ‘helping hand’ if the student missed any letters or words.
- If the teacher disagrees with Checkers, teacher says: I heard them as all correct or
I heard number correct.
• Use Positive Error Correction (see Section IV, page 4) with students who make errors. Helping Hand

100%&Accuracy&
To!eliminate!the!confusion!between!the!letters,!students!need!to!practice!until!they!consistently!
achieve!100%!accuracy.!!Self9corrections!are!always!counted!as!errors!because!students!need!to!be!
correct!the&first&time&and!every&time!they!read!a!word!with!the!confusing!letters.!!
Daily&One:on:One&Practice&
The!most!effective!way!to!fix!letter!confusion!is!for!the!teacher!to!work!every!day!with!one!student!
at!a!time.!!Practicing!one9on9one!with!a!student!generally!takes!3–5!minutes!daily.!!Practice!three!
days!a!week!is!the!minimum!recommended.!!Practicing!less!often!may!not!result!in!any!improvement.!

confusing!letters.!!Students!learn!an!anchor!for!only!one!of!the!two!letters,!because!the!letter!either!
matches!or!differs!from!the!anchor.!!For!example,!when!a!student!confuses!the!letters!m!and!n,!the!
student!learns!to!use!an!anchor!for!the!letter!m.!!The!anchor!is!to!touch!by!the!top!of!the!letter!with!
two!fingers!while!saying:!‘m’$has$two$humps,$‘m’.!!In!Step!1,!when!the!student!sees!an!

III. USING&THE&ANCHOR&IN&STEP&1&
How&the&Student&Uses&the&Anchor&
Each!time!the!student!comes!to!one!of!the!confusing!letters,!he!makes!the!hand!
gesture!next!to!the!letter.!!The!student!compares!the!letter!with!the!anchor!
before&he&names&the&letter.&&The!student!says!the!anchor!phrase!and!names!the!
letter!if!the!letter!matches!the!description.!!Otherwise,!he!just!names!the!letter.!
Deliberate&Use&of&the&Anchor&
Before!naming!the!target!letters,!the!student!must!deliberately!and!clearly!use!the!anchor!and!
compare!it!with!the!target!letter.!!This!ensures!the!student!checks!the!target!letter!against!the!
anchor!before!naming!it.!!
Take&the&Hand&Away&for&Other&Letters&
The!student!takes!his!hand!away!from!the!page!for!all!letters!that!are!not!confusing.!!Some!teachers!
have!their!students!hold!their!hand!to!their!chest!when!they!are!not!naming!a!confusing!letter.!
What&To&Do&if&the&Student&Does&Not&Use&the&Anchor!
In!Step!1,!it!is!critical!the!student!uses!the!anchor!during!practice.!!If!the!student!(1)!does!not!use!the!
anchor!or!(2)!does!not!clearly!check!the!anchor!against!the!letter,!immediately!tell!the!student!that!
he!did!not!use!the!anchor!or!check!the!anchor!and!have!him!start!the!line!over.!!Do!this!even!if!the!
student!names!the!letter!correctly.!!The!line!that!the!student!starts!again!counts!as!correct!if!he!
checks!his!anchor!for!each!target!letter!and!names!all!letters!correctly.!
Note$for$Step$2:!!Some!students!use!the!anchor!below!the!table,!which!is!acceptable.!
&
&
IV. POSITIVE&ERROR&CORRECTION&
Use!the!following!procedure!to!guide!the!student!when!correcting!mistakes.!
1. Tell!the!student!how!many!he!got!right!by!saying!with!a!positive!voice:!$$$number$$$$correct.$$$
(Each!line!has!10!letters.)!
2. Point!to!any!letter!that!was!missed:!
• If!the!letter!is!a!target!letter,!say:!Check$this$letter$with$your$anchor.!
• If!the!letter!is!not!a!target!letter,!say:$Check$this$letter.!
• After!all!mistakes!are!corrected,!have!the!student!move!on!to!name!letters!in!a!different!line.!
& &
V. MATERIALS&FOR&PRACTICE&
Practice&Pages&
The!teacher!and!student!each!use!a!copy!of!the!same!practice!page:!
Letter&Naming&Practice!
pages!for!both!steps!(pages!21–76).!
!
The!student!uses!a!copy!of!the!practice!page!to!name!letters.!!Some!teachers!laminate!a!copy!of!the!
practice!pages!for!students!to!use.!
The!teacher!uses!a!copy!of!the!same!practice!page!(1)!to!mark!errors!as!the!student!names!letters,!
and!(2)!to!record!the!number!correct!at!the!end!of!each!line.!
Five!versions!of!the!Letter!Naming!practice!pages!are!provided!in!case!teachers!want!to!vary!the!

VI. DIRECTIONS&FOR&INDIVIDUAL&PRACTICE&
General&Directions!
1. Practice&every&day.&
• The!student!uses!the!anchor!when!practicing!during!Step!1.!!(See!Section!III,!page!5!for!
directions!for!using!the!anchor.)!
• The!student!does!not!use!the!anchor!when!practicing!during!Step!2.!
2. The&student&names&letters&on&a&practice&page&until&he&has&read&three&lines&correctly,&with&no&
self:corrections.&
• Lines!read!accurately!do!not!have!to!be!consecutive.!!(For!example,!when!mistakes!or!self9
corrections!are!made!in!2!lines,!the!student!completes!5!lines!total:!3!correct,!2!with!errors.)!
3. The&teacher&uses&his&own&practice&page&to&track&and&mark&errors&as&the&student&reads,&and&
the&teacher&records&the&number&of&letters&named&correctly&at&the&end&of&the&line.&
• Self9corrections!are!counted!as!errors.!
4. When&the&student&finishes&each&line,&the&teacher&tells&the&student&how&many&letters&were&
read&correctly.!!(Each!line!has!10!letters.)!
• If!the!student!makes!an!error,!including!a!self9correction,!the!teacher!uses!Positive!Error!
Correction!(see!Section!IV,!page!5).!

without&self:corrections,&in&3&lines&total.&
6. If&the&student&does¬&name&letters&in&3&lines&correctly&by&the&end&of&line&10,&stop&for&the&
day.&&
7. The&teacher&records&the&student’s&performance&each&day&on&the&Student&Tracking&Chart.&
When&To&Move&to&Step&2&
Before!a!student!moves!to!Step!2,!he!must!name!letters!correctly,!without!errors!or!self9corrections,!
in!the!first&3&lines!he&attempts&for!3&days&in&a&row.!!During!Step!2,!he!will!name!letters!without!using!
the!anchor.!
When&To&Stop&Practicing&
The!student!stops!practicing!when!he!finishes!Step!2!by!naming!letters!correctly,!without!errors!or!
self9corrections,!in!the!first&3&lines&he&attempts!for!3&days&in&a&row.!!At!this!point,!the!student!should!
rarely!or!never!confuse!the!target!letters!when!he!reads.!
& &
VII. DIRECTIONS&FOR&SMALL&GROUP&PRACTICE&
Although!one9on9one!practice!is!the!most!effective!way!to!eliminate!letter!confusion,!sometimes!it!is!
necessary!to!practice!with!a!small!group.!
Groups!of!students!with!the!same!letter!name!confusions!are!most!efficient.!!However,!it!is!possible!
to!have!students!in!the!same!group!practice!different!letter!confusions.!
Maximum&Group&Size&–&3!students!
Moving&to&Step&2&and&Stopping&Practice&–&Completion!of!the!two!steps!for!each!student!is!the!same!

• The!teacher!makes!copies!of!each!student’s!practice!page!for!every!student!in!the!group.!
• When!it!is!each!student’s!turn!to!read,!the!teacher!passes!out!the!appropriate!page!to!each!
member!in!the!group!so!that!they!can!track!and!mark.!!The!students!will!use!this!practice!
page!for!tracking!and!marking!errors!as!each!student!names!letters.!!(See!Group!
Management!below.)!
Tracking&Chart&–&Use!the!Small!Group!Tracking!Chart.!!
Group&Management&
• When!one!student!names!letters,!the!other!students!are!Checkers.!
• Checkers!track!and!mark!errors!for!the!student!naming!letters.!
