Third-grade student Melanie often reverses or inverts letters or numbers. Which of the following strategies might help her be successful?
  1. Point out her mistakes and insist that she correct them.
  2. Pair her with another student and ask the other student to correct any errors.
  3. Attach a visual strip to Melanie’s desk or notebook to provide a model of how to write the letters correctly.
  4. Keep her in for recess until she forms symbols correctly.
Explanation
Answer: C-Attaching a visual model of symbols to Melanie’s desk or notebook may be enough to help her write them correctly. Many children with visual perceptual deficits also benefit from hands-on tactile exploration of symbols. Use a tactile symbol board or wooden symbols. Allow the child to write symbols on a vertical surface, such as an easel or chalkboard, using very large strokes.
