My dd(6) is also a leftie, and from her earliest doodling (squiggly lines to look like grown-up writing on the page) until now she has had right-to-left tendencies. She wrote her name in mirror image for the first year, and even now on the odd occasion will realize that she started on the right. We also use HWOT (LOVE!) for Printing and Cursive. I don't know if the program is responsible for the change or if the transition would have happened naturally, but she has become very comfortable with writing with few reversals (b/d and the number 3 still trouble her). Learning to read has been much more challenging for her than I remember it being for my ds. She has just gotten comfortable in chapter books (YAY!), but even now if she hurries I can hear her miss a word by reading the final or middle sounds before the beginning sounds. I don't know if that is a sign of an official learning disability, but I have wondered if it was harder because of the left-handedness. Anxious to hear from those with older lefties or more education... :001_smile:
