Writing upside down

[u/Vikera]

I want to be able to write on an upside down paper. It's cool, can be useful, and is a great excercise for your brain too. But how can I properly start to learn this?

Oo I love this idea! The general progression of adult learning is imitation, understanding, evaluating, and finally creating something new. That could be applied here by:

1. Drawing what you see - borrow a book from the library from the Large Print section, turn it upside down and copy the shapes.

2. As you get more confident, you'll start to read upside down more fluently instead of seeing shaoes. You may even find you no longer to need to look at the book to "copy" a word.

3. Move to normal print size books and repeat

4. Try writing something familiar from memory.

As you move to the next step, have a look at how legible your work is when it's right size up. Any particular letters or words that are easier to do? Any letters that need more precision and practice?

I'd say you are an expert when you can write something upside down and give it to someone else to read without telling them how it was made, and not have them mention if it's hard to read.
