Oh yes I see this all the time! Have you ever heard of the Magic C? I have kids practice in letter groups, one of which is called the Magic c group… this is for letters a, d,g,o, q…. try to have them start the letter with a (good looking) letter c then finish the letter…. Let me know how it goes!

I agree! Bad habits are the worst! It will definitely take repetition with fun things to do while we reteach new ones.. For my bottom starters I’ll have them keep score using tally marks… but they have to start from the top! Lots of repetition, usually a fun activity and many opportunities to break a bad habit and start a new one!
