One way to teach reading backwards is to start by creating a personal alphabet together with the student, from first principles. Make up symbols for various words. This gets cumbersome when you have words like peace, happy, glad, joyful, nice, etc. To solve for that, make up symbols for each sound. Then start writing new words by assembling the custom symbols you made. The problem you run into is that books/articles/internet aren't printed in your symbols, and no one you know can read them. Solve for that by introducing the (English/Spanish/Korean/etc) alphabet and the sounds it makes. Write simple words together. Then read simple words together. Then expand.
