We are trying to finish filling up her reading log so she can participate in the icecream family at pre-K. Today, we had 3 Bob Books for her to read and she did well with the first two, after I got her to stop fidgeting. tongue.gif Then she picked up a new book (Peg and Ted, about a hen and a pig) and she read the entire thing upside down! ohmy.gif I sat with her and told her that she needed to turn it around or she'd never finish but she said "mom, I can read just fine upside down". I was skeptical but sure enough, she read right to left and only got confused with one p thinking it was a b.

I can read upsided down, but I've been reading for decades. Is this weird or is it just one of those crazy kid things that I didn't know about?

That's talent, Cary. Corey watches tv upside down, and I do mean, entire shows, but she hasn't taken to reading that way yet. rolling_smile.gif

WOW... I'd be shocked too. I don't know if Ashley could read upside down or not.. I don't think she's ever tried. Unlike you, I think I WOULD have trouble reading upside down. LOL. K sure is a smarty!!! thumb.gif

P.S. We love the Bob books too! I haven't found another series that teaches phonics rules and sight words as well as the Bob Books! thumb.gif

That's cool. I wonder if kids can do that stuff easier b/c they don't realize it's suppose to be hard. KWIM?

She'll be doing scrambles and crossword puzzles before you know it. And writing something backwards so she can hold it up to the mirror to read it. Funny girl!

Very impressive!! thumb.gif I know when I was in marketing, they say to read copy upside down to look for errors. I suppose typos stand out better when looking at it upside down. I couldn't do it though. laugh.gif She is a smart kid!

Quite impressive. My mother once thought I was a prodigy because I can read upside down. Turns out it is a talent that people can enhance. Now if I can just find my darned glasses.........
