Yes, it seems to help. Another great resource is Marilyn Zecher. She has a handwriting course that gets kids writing without reversals fast. Check her out at multisensorymath.online
You drew 1 arm and one leg: confusing to many children. Each limb should be drawn, singly. The number 9 starts as a letter 'c', as do many other letters and symbols.
Also, with the person figure as drawn, the figure's right shoulder is to our left as we look at the figure and the figure's left shoulder /arm is to our right as we look at the figure. Further, you draw the first leg from the bottom upward in one continous motion across the midline into the second leg then downward. One leg is drawn from the bottom upward and the other leg from the "top" downward. I will draw letters & numerals on our child's back and have the child do it the same way while saying left to right and top to bottom. Thanks.
@williamtroka2448 ya caught me. As a person with dyscalculia tendencies, I too struggle with directionality. The goal of the video is to help give the general idea that has helped students.
Unfortunately we cannot remember left from right!
When we come up against that, we teach the subskill necessary. In this case, we'd practice left to right then work on reversals.
Does this also work with letters?
