This was on Imagination Tribe. I'll post my comments separately so
you can watch the video first without my input. Be sure to watch the end.

(and to this group): I have a little list in my head - maybe
somebody's written it down somewhere?- of what we give up,
individually and as a culture, with our focus on early
literacy. This is one of those things, I think.

This is an interesting idea. I'm not sure when I became aware of it, (maybe
11-13 ish?) but my ability to write upsidedown, backwards (you can read it in
a mirror) and upsidedown *and* backwards seemed to improve with my
writing/reading ability... but maybe that doesn't count because its actual writing and
not "the world"... I'm not sure, but it sure is something I'm going to read
more about and share with my kids! Thanks!

Peace,
Sang

I was 13 when I learned to write backwards to amuse myself in class.
It wasn't a natural thing I was doing already, though. And because I
learned it and practiced it (lots) the way I did, when I write
backwards now it's my 8th grade cursive handwriting, a hand I haven't
used since high school. That's kinda fun.

I used to write out song lyrics for my friends and they would put
them up in windows at their houses so they could read them "the right
way" (so the light could shine through the paper and make it legible).

Some people can hear music backwards or speak backwards or recite
strings of numbers backwards or say the alphabet backwards without
learning it painstakingly, so it's not just the the visual area that
some people have that odd ability to see from other angles.
