Juju2bigdog | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 01:55 pm     And on another board I read, somebody did it with Spanish and Portugese, and it worked with those languages as well. They also said it worked with arabic. I guess we'd have to ask squaredsc about that, her being the only arabic speaker on this board. |

Tess | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 12:11 am     Hey Eggie, I gave this thread to Miss Sarah and what scares me is that the spelling didn't throw her for a second. She just wonders why a bunch of grownups spell funny but she read without hesitation. oh, and this time, balh #5 is my froavit. btw, tihs is vrey hrad to do. ack! |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 03:56 am     Foliage, my daughter in in fourth grade and she could read it just like any adult. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with age but what our brain does when we see groups of letters. I would love to know how it works. |

Twiggyish | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 07:29 pm     I find reading it quickly helps. It seems harder to try and read slowly. |
Tess | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 08:16 pm     Waht was taht, Tigws? |
Sia | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 10:51 pm     When my Mom was her tonight I got her to read the entire thread; it didn't throw her a bit. Both my parents are pretty smart, so that must be why it isn't difficult for me to read the jumbled words, either. What's most amazing to me is that the words are a snap to figure out IF the first and last letters are correctly placed. It's a bit harder to unscramble a word that is completely jumbled. What a fascinating phenomenon!! |
