DaisyProudfoot Report post Posted February 8, 2006 I've seen this before - and yes it does work, plbabory why cretupmos get so cesufnod wehn tehy slepl cechk! However as you can see I've actually written the letters in between backwards and I reckon that's a lot harder, especially big words Daisy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brook Report post Posted February 8, 2006 My seven yr old ASD son just read this, the only word that he read wrong was 'slpeling' (spelling) he said 'sleeping'. It's amazing isn't it how you read just by scanning familiar words. Brook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Yes this is interesting, but reading is more than just seeing the word as a whole - the mind also uses grammatical and contextual clues to work out the meaning of the sentences. For example you see "I was..." and your knowledge of word order and grammar tells you the next word has to be an ..ing verb - "reading". You read "Cambridge" and you predict the next word will be "University" without even looking at it. However if you took these words as they are written here and jumbled them up, the randomness would make them much more difficult to decipher individually. Reading involves so many different skills - it's amazing that anyone learns to do it when you start to think about what's actually going on in the brain. Fascinating stuff!
