Does your child get his b’s and d’s mixed up? How about her p’s and q’s?  LetterReflex provides a fun way to help overcome common letter reversals.  The first activity, Tilt It, uses kinesthetic learning to teach left from right.  The second activity, Flip It, allows them to practice what they learned while honing their letter discrimination skills.

√ Tilt It: Teach Left from Right using Kinesthetic Learning

According to research, a key reason for letter reversals is not knowing left from right, and as a result kids get confused when trying to discriminate between a “b” and a ‘d” or a “p” and a “q”.  They’re not quite sure which side the letter loop should go on. 

Our Tilt It activity uses kinesthetic learning techniques to help kids map their left side/right side to correct letter formation. They will learn the correct position of letter loops by being challenged to tilt the device in the correct direction to form letters.  

Designed for fun as well as education, Tilt It is a maze game that gets progressively more difficult as the learner succeeds at each level.    

With practice, they will form an instinctive correlation between letter formation and left side/right side.

√ Flip It:  Practice Letter and Word Discrimination
  
Using arcade game action, Flip It challenges kids to visually discriminate and manipulate letters and words to match the correct orientation.  The activity will help hone their visual discrimination skills and further cement their knowledge of correct letter and word formation. 

Both activities are designed to be repeatable and engaging, and when used on a regular basis will help address the problem of letter reversals.

Tracking and Progress Reports: The app includes an automatic tracking and reporting feature makes it easy for parents, teachers and therapists to identify time on task, accuracy, and progress. You can email the reports right from the app.

LetterReflex is a universal app compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.  Buy it once, and use on all your iOS devices.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-08-18*

This was recommended by my son’s OT as home Therapy, but unfortunately does NOT WORK! There is a lack of instructions. The only instructions to tilt or swipe the screen are useless.  There has to be better Applications out there, just wished I didn’t pay.

### 1/5 — NO!!

*2019-01-20*

This app is frustrating and is absolutely NOT a good way to help students who struggle with reversals.

### 1/5 — Needs some work

*2014-01-22*

This app could use some work.  We teach kids that the letters b/d face each other... So when they are reversed in the game, it is confusing for my students.  I also think there should be another setting where the letters switch positions (all of them).  The other swiping game is just plain confusing for kiddos with learning disabilities and difficulties with positions in general.

### 3/5 — Help with B/D Confusion

*2013-08-21*

I am a homeschool mom and I got this to help my daughter who was having a lot of trouble telling the difference between letters. This is the only app I've found like it, but I think it could be improved a lot very simply. First, on the ball rolling part my daughter had learned to identify by color instead of by position, so I'm not sure how much that is helping. Also, the ball rolling is a little too challenging for her so she can't go past level 2 or so. I would like it much better if the colors changed every time and if you could slow the ball down for younger kids. The second game is more helpful and much easier for her to progress in since she doesn't have to balance so much. Still, I wish I could specify what I wanted her to be learning, since I'd like to be able to focus more on b vs d. With those adjustments, this could be an awesome app. As it is $4 feels like a rip off.

### 1/5 — Boring for kids

*2013-04-22*

Not good.

### 5/5 — Great therapy tool

*2013-04-18*

I love having a tool that allows me to offer variety and to customize skills that I am working on in therapy.  The best part as a therapist is the flexibility of adding multiple students, but also in the data collection.  Thanks for developing this app!

### 5/5 — Letter reflex

*2013-02-22*

Great therapy tool to work on letter reversals and letter recognition-

### 5/5 — Novel & interactive.

*2012-08-09*

This app is an excellent aid to help alleviate (or at least appreciate) visual reversals of letters and whole words. The fun interactive activities offer numerous opportunities to confront & correct some of those issues. 

I strongly suggest that the activities be supervised closely for maximum learning. My daughter immediately started turning the iPad into different orientations & with this app that negates the lessons! (To be correct there is only one directionality to hold the iPad, other orientations are not adjusted.)

### 5/5 — Use it daily in school system

*2012-06-10*

I'm an OT in schools, and I LOVE this app! Great for kids with reversals. The kids like moving up to the next level as well.

### 5/5 — LetterReflex

*2012-04-27*

Another stellar app by Dexteria! I purchased this app to help my left handed 5 yr old. He often writes letters backwards when printing. This app has helped him tremendously and I feel he will not have any problems in kindergarten next year. My 9 yr old ASD daughter is also benefitting from this app. She gets b and d confused often when identifying them in text. Great app!
