    First of all, and most importantly - don't panic!

    It's perfectly normal for a six year old to be reversing some letters. You can find lots of handwriting practice pages on www.education.com and www.handwritingworksheets.com

    Also, she can practice writing and making letters with other materials - playdough, tubs of sand/salt etc., finger painting.
    Try to help her to use the letters in context, not just in isolation, e.g. writing "dog" instead of just "d" and practice the sound that goes with each letter.

    I agree, don't panic yet. Dyslexia can run in families, but Cailín has given you some good suggestions.
