Why do I read upside down ??

This is me .... Reading book number 1 upside down !!!


I thought you might like a little background as to why I read upside down !!! so here goes ....

When I was little My Mum was diagnosed with and disabled by M.S. Being a carer for her, along with my Dad, I got behind with school work ..... so my English teacher said try reading books upside down. As your brain takes the information in differently and you store it better.

It seemed to work for me as I have lots of random knowledge tucked away in my brain for those useless pieces of information discussions LOL. I also found it helped with my recovery from 2 Mini Strokes that I had some years ago.

Reading upside down has been a point of discussion with many people I have met on buses trains and planes.."Excuses me your books upside down" then the story begins to be told ...

Its the ones that dont say anything, yet you can see them looking at you puzzled .....

What must they be thinking LOL ???

  1. Thanks for the inspiration. I love any idea that gets people reading, and I am going to try it. I think it sounds fascinating and I could use all the help I could get to remember anything...:)!
