Begin Backside: On this page are numbers from 1 to 25. Do this page the same way.

Begin Fine, lets try the next part. B Example: This one is similar, except that it has both numbers and letters. Begin at number 1, and draw a line from 1 to A. Then from A to 2, from 2 to B, from B to 3, 3 to C (point to the numbers and letters), and so on, alternately in correct sequence, until you reach the end. So your task is to go from number to letter to number to letter and so on, in order. Ready? Begin Backside: On this page there are numbers and letters again. Do this the same way, going from number 1, and draw a line from 1 to A. Then from A to 2, from 2 to B, from B to 3, 3 to C (point to the numbers and letters), and so on, in correct sequence, until you reach the end. Remember, you have to alternate between numbers and letters. Draw the lines as quickly as you can. Ready? Begin NB: When the patient makes a mistake, Point it out, help him correct it, and proceed.
