I was aware of that. Then again, with my eyesight, I have learned lots of little tricks and shortcuts over the years. I've tried to explain this to people. I don't read every letter of every word. No one does. The first and last letters are clues. But for me, I also see the length and shape of the word...ie...how many letters it has that dangle beow or rise above, etc. That can really chage the whole perception of a word. Interesting stuff....


Cute as this is, there's some truth to it...

LOL Lori! 'Cut and Paste'!

The weird thing is that I don't seem to have any problems reading this. Even your little sentence - I didn't even have to think twice.

I'd read the first line before I realised it wasn't "right". Makes you wonder why so many children's reading schemes focus on phonics though.

How neat.

Looks like I've got to forward this to a few friends.
