Rochdale: A student who could only read and write upside down has been cured by the colour orange.
Gemma Williams, 17, could read a book only if it was upside down, reports the Mirror.
Her computer monitor had to stand on its head and she wrote the wrong way up, too.
But now she can read and write normally thanks to orange paper and filters. Tutors at Hopwood Hall College in Middleton, Greater Manchester, solved the sports student's problem.
Gemma said, "Now I can read and write the right way up. It's done using an orange filter which I put over the words."
Sue Fowler of the Dyslexia Research Trust said: "We know amber makes things clearer by increasing the contrast."
