Hi Kathleen,

Reversing letters is very common and natural until somewhere around 
third grade. When parents ask, I do this:  I stand their child up in 
front of them, facing one side. I say, "Here is your child." Then I 
turn the child around facing the other way and say, "Look! It's still 
your child!" and then I explain that for some children they may just 
not be seeing the difference yet between facing one way and facing 
another way.

Makes sense to me, anyhow!
