Helping kids differentiate between 'b' and 'd' can be fun. Use the ‘bed’ visual aid, where the word forms the shape of a bed with 'b' as the headboard and 'd' as the footboard. Practice writing with different colors for each letter to create a visual memory. Engage in interactive tracing games or use memory tricks like “Big belly ‘b’” and “’d’ has a dinosaur tail.” Consistent daily practice ensures steady improvement over time.
