Help children remember the difference between lowercase 'b' and 'd' with this helpful picture chart. Since children are introduced to the left to right reading and writing concept early on, teaching them to give a "Thumbs Up!" will aide them in distinguishing the 'b' and 'd' letters in those early reader activites. When a child sees their left hand with a thumbs up it's shaped like the letter 'b', and the right hand looks like the letter 'd'. For years I have had incredible success with this
