But anyway the child at whom the similar dysgraphia is noticed needs parental attention.

Instruction
1. The preschool child who only begins to represent letters on a leaf has full authority to write them as to it will like. He just masters skills which will be necessary for it further, and at this stage of a mistake are inevitable. If similar "dysgraphia" is observed at five-year-old, and sometimes and at the four-year-old child — be glad for the fact that he in general shows interest in the letter. You can help it a little. Offer it books with the large and distinctly printed letters. The kid still just did not remember as they look. At the first stage he cannot control also the fine motor skills. He is simply happy that at it something turns out. Can write in specular reflection at the initial stage of both the lefthander, and the right-handed person.
2. The five-year-old child will be helped also by the copy-books made by you. They can be made of a usual album leaf as work in a school notebook still cannot do to the kid. Besides he writes so far, most likely, with printing letters. Just write several large letters and suggest the child to look how you do it, and then to repeat. If he is mistaken, do not abuse and do not even pay attention to it, and after a while repeat the same exercise. For correctly performed task do not forget to praise.
3. At the initial stage of training in the letter the child has to see the correct tracings of letters as often as possible. Suggest it to read if he already more or less well is able to do it. On a wall it is possible to hang up the alphabet. It makes active visual memory of your pupil and will help it to control itself.
4. Most of the preschool children writing specularly at the initial stage of training, has no other deviations. Their intellectual development corresponds to age, they master all other types of activity just as their peers. Nevertheless observe the kid, in particular if he, despite exercises, continues to write specularly. Address the children's psychologist. He will test your child and will define whether it has also other features of development. Cases when the inability to be retrained on the usual letter was followed by remarkable talent for the fine arts are known.
5. It is quite possible that your child who does not want to learn to write correctly in any way, the obvious or hidden lefthander. Usually it is simple to define an obvious levorukost. The child instinctively is enough all with the left hand including a pencil. It is simple to it to write in specular reflection more conveniently. There is nothing terrible that it will have this feature. But it is necessary that he got used also to the correct nvpisaniye. To define the hidden levorukost, carry out the small test. Offer the child some business, new to it. Look in what hand it will take a subject, absolutely new to it. Also the ancient method of diagnostics will approach. Suggest the child to connect palms and to bind fingers. The hidden lefthanders from above usually have a thumb of the left hand.
6. If the mirror letter is followed by noticeable violations of the speech or operation of the musculoskeletal device, address the neuropathologist. This feature of the letter is caused in right-handed persons by an underdevelopment of some departments of a brain. The child who has all the rest as it should be matures, the necessary parts of a brain gradually return to normal. If it did not occur, even drug treatment which is appointed only by the doctor can be necessary. He can offer also ways of correction.
