I don't remember the exact letters but my ds definitely reversed more than b, d, and I think he inverted u, n, and drew his h's upside down and backwards - but nothing he did was ever consistent - even in the same sentence or word. "f" was also for whatever reason *the* hardest letter in the alphabet for him to learn to recognize and identify. I still to this day wish I could see the world through his eyes because it's a bit of a puzzle to me!


There's more I'd like to add... but I need to go fix dinner - will be back later!
