I saw this whole excerpt in one of my Teaching literacy courses. Our professor did a whole unit on this. The ability or non ability to read that is not indicative of dyslexia like some of these tests say. It is just basically a "test" that shows a persons ability to read contextually. (context clues) Our brain "reads" words and we tend to group words together.. ie raed looks like read in our minds because of the other words contextually.

I have almost the exact same thing on my computer in the Humor directory for my word processor. It has a date stamp in May of 2005, so it has been floating around for a few years.

Thats pretty cool!

 

[XYSRUS]

It's probably more than 55%. That was pretty easy.

 

[clovergirl5]

I could read it just as fast as I normally read. Cool!

I just showed the paragraph to my husband who has dyslexia and he could not read it. He said that it was almost like the letters were changing as he was trying to make sense of it.

I was able to read it with no problem.

I wonder if anyone else out there who has dyslexia can comment on this.

My supervisor at work has dyslexia and could not read this when we had it forwarded to us at work the other day. She spent probably 1/2 hour trying to decipher it.
