re letter reversals at the college level although sometimes in
developmental courses.
I have occasionally used the sunform alphabet system (Sundberg Learning
Systems, Inc.) to reinforce letters for some students with reversal
problems.  Also in some instances the Irlen color overlays seem to help.
I have also found that some times enlarging the print ans increasing the
spacing helps with this problem.
