Reads the Same

Print the word BED in capital letters. Turn the paper upside down, read the word in the mirror, and it will still read BED. Now print all the letters of the alphabet in capitals, turn the page upside down, and read them in the mirror to find the nine letters that read the same both ways. When you have found them, try to make at least fifteen words that read the same upside down, and mirrored, right side up. Here’s another one as a starter: BEE.
