[senco-forum] [SENco-forum] reading asoft

Bizarrely 2 students I have with terrible phonetic spelling and poor reading
ability can also read this with no greater degree of difficulty than normal
text.

I think it is because this is what text looks like to them anyway (letters
swapped within the word) so it does not prove anything other than the
flexibility of our brain to make sense of what we see, and having 2 eyes and
one image it does this all the time.

....The point I was trying to make is that correctly spelt words are easier
to
read than miss-spelt words......and why we
can make sense of the unpronounceable viral text below:-

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht
oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist
and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you
can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey
lteter by itslef but the wrod as a wlohe.
