d, seeing that it "fits" the manuscript d.
9.
10. Give the student a sheet with manuscript b printed on it (p. 175). Have
her try to write a cursive d over the manuscript b. Determine with the
student that the cursive d does not fit over the manuscript b.
Part C: Review b
11. Give the student a sheet of paper on which the manuscript b is written 10
times (p^ 176). Have her write a cursive b over each manuscript b, saying
the sound,
/b/,
12, Give the student a sheet of paper on which manuscript b and manuscript
d have been written 1.0 times in a random arrangement (p. 180). Have
her write cursive b or cursive d over each, saying the appropriate sound
as each is written. Monitor the writing to help her determine when the
cursive letter attempted does not "fit" over the manuscript letter.
Part E: Integrate b and d with other letters in words
13. Present the student with the following list of words printed in manuscript on sheets of paper (pp. 181-182):
boy dog
bry dot

fldaptations
For some students, it may be more profitable to teach the tracing procedure
for b only and then go to the exercise in which b and d are contrasted (skip
Steps 6-10).
Next steps
Similar sequences may be constructed to deal with confusions of b and o or
o and o.
