Cary the Lemur Group: Members Posts: 8,080 Member No.: 135 Joined: 15-April 03	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. Then she picked up a new book (Peg and Ted, about a hen and a pig) and she read the entire thing upside down! 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? -------------------- Cary

Corey watches tv upside down, and I do mean, entire shows, but she hasn't taken to reading that way yet. -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

Happy Spring! Group: Administrators Posts: 27,473 Member No.: 2 Joined: 8-February 03	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!!! 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! -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Platinum Member Group: Members Posts: 8,735 Member No.: 1,474 Joined: 1-March 05	Very impressive!! 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. She is a smart kid! -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

Platinum Member Group: Moderators Posts: 8,629 Member No.: 800 Joined: 5-October 04	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......... -------------------- Ed is husband to Lisa (since 1983) Dad to Ricky, John, Erin and Kaitlin The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.
