Letter Reversals - 11 Free Fun Activities for Dyslexics

Posted by Erica Warren on May 17, 2021

Almost all elementary students experience some letter, number and word reversals, but for some, it is a pervasive problem. Many of these students have symptoms of dyslexia or visual processing weaknesses, and they need to develop learning strategies and exercise visual processing and recognition to a point of automaticity. Automaticity is the ability to do things without occupying the mind, allowing a process to become an automatic response or habit. It is usually the result of learning, repetition, and practice.

Letter Reversals - 11 Free Fun Activities for Dyslexics

Why Did I Create Reversing Reversals?

I created the Reversing Reversals series, because I want to help struggling learners to quickly remediate visual processing weaknesses with fun activities that exercise cognition and provide memorable strategies.

What Population of Learners are Served by this Workbook?

I wanted to help students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities to develop the core skills needed for reading and math. These products are often used and recommended by vision therapists, educational therapists, and teachers as the activities serve as brain training exercises. You can learn more about each product in the table below.

What are People Saying about These Publications?

This is exactly what I was looking for to use with my homeschooled child who has just been diagnosed with dyslexia. She enjoyed the activities that we've done so far and asks for more. We use the mazes and other activities as "rewards" for other activities we are doing through the morning.
My daughter was diagnosed with needing to take vision therapy classes. These activities look better than the ones the Dr.'s office gave us. I love these! Thank you so much! These are good for ALL students, not just with those in need. Thank you! Thank you!
As an occupational therapist that works in the school setting and with reversals, we are very excited about this book and approach to help our students with reversals.
This is a wonderful product for my dyslexic students who struggle with reversals. Also, this is a good product for your ADHD kiddo's who have difficulty paying attention to details.
This is a great resource for my RTI kids. I appreciate that you address directionality and tracking with both letters and numbers. Plus, the mazes and "hunts" make it a lot of fun for the kids. Thank you!
