2-year-old will only "read" books upside down?

Question

I work at a daycare and we have one little girl who always holds books upside down. Always. I know it's common for babies and toddlers to hold books upside down because they don't know any better. But this girl is 2 years old. She talks pretty well, she'll tell you when she wants to read a book, she knows what it is to read a book, she can identify pictures, she knows a few letters, etc. But she refuses to hold books the right way. And I mean refuses. I have NEVER seen her hold a book the right way. She'll be "reading" by herself and it'll be upside down. If she grabs a book and opens it and realizes it is the right way she'll turn it around. Even if you are holding the book and reading to her she will fight you until the book is upside down in your hands. Her parents say she does the same thing at home. Always has apparently. They don't seem too concerned, they just laugh it off. Is this normal?

I think it is ok, as she gets I to preschool then moves on to grade school she will grow out of it. It is just a habit. I would brush it off. If it doesn't change when she is 4+ then there is a possible problem. Address the parents about your concerns and remember there is only so much you can do.

Ah, there is a perfect book for her, called "The Turn-Around, Upside-Down Alphabet Book" by Lisa Campbell Ernst. She can learn her alphabets from all angles!  She just wants to explore reading in the way that she wants to. If we can all be that imaginative!
