Sam the Tram’s Dance Club
is a children’s book unlike any other. The text is an Empowerment Script™. It’s meant to be read back and forth, from left to right and then right to left. The first line of text is written
just > as > you > are > reading,
.way < other < the < goes < next < the < and

This style of writing, invented by the Ancient Greeks, stimulates connection between the two sides of the brain. The bilateral eye movements help can help any reader relax, let go of stress, and be more creative. Professionals familiar with EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) will see the potential for readers with trauma or dissociation. This reading technique also holds promise for ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder) and dyslexia.
