When I was teaching my left-handed daughter, at 3-years old, to print, she wrote from left to right with her left hand, but if she tried to write with her right hand she wrote mirror-style from right to left.

When she learned to read, she could read an upside-down book as fast as if it was right-side up.

I am the same way. When I write right-handed, it is mirror perfect and very legible. I can also read upside-down or mirror backwards without any problems. Very helpful when working on projects with people across the table!
One odd thing though... If I write with my right fingertip(on a dirty window or something), it comes out perfectly normal.

Yes, I can read upside down and backwards as if it were normal print, also. That's been useful...;-D Half our kids are lefties, half righties. When I had radial keratotomy, the surgeon did a test for eye dominance, mine is the left eye. He did the non-dominant eye surgery first...the dominant eye a week later...

here's an interesting (maybe) observation, Arabic and Chinese are languages written from right to left, bottom to top. If I'm wrong, please correct me, but I recall seeing that somewhere. I wonder what the left/right hand percentage is among those cultures that write "backwards".

Oh, and I am a great speller, except I get my "ie" and "ei" rules backwards every time, never fails.
