[quote=Anonymous]I think the important thing to know about letters and syllables flipping around is that it indicates the brain is still working on recognizing that certain letters go together in clusters, and that the order of letters is important. The brain is still treating letter order as not salient. It’s like if a kid says they just don’t see place value in a math equation. That is their true experience, and the solution is to help them understand place value and then practice until their brain does automatically see it and recognize it as important. The child (or adult) isn’t imagining it when they say things flip around, but the letters aren’t visually moving - instead the brain doesn’t process the order of letters accurately. It kind of shrugs and goes “eh. Same difference.” We need to teach it that no, it’s actually important. It takes patience and time and lots of practice. [/quote]
