Common misconceptions
- Starting at the bottom (universal early-K error; rooted in the child's gestural bias to start where their hand naturally rests)
- Reversing strokes — drawing the diagonal of K from bottom-up
- Mirror-reversal (N ↔ И; uppercase reversals are normal and not a dyslexia signal at this age, but should be corrected)
