Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Confusing letters that look similar, especially b and d or p and q, because young children are still learning that orientation changes a letter's identity rather than being a rotation of the same shape.
• Treating uppercase and lowercase versions as two completely different letters, which slows down reading because they must mentally translate between forms instead of recognizing them as one.
• Mixing up letter names with letter sounds, such as saying the name 'B' when asked what sound B makes, instead of producing the /b/ phoneme used in actual words.
