I was doing some research and found this, just thought it was interesting.....


A visual demonstration of how jumbled sounds can be easily corrected by adults and understood; not so by children:

I can read it, but it hurts my head to do so.

You see... I want to FIX all the words. I'm a little Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) about spelling...

I can read it. As long as the first and last letter are in the correct position, I think most people can read it.

Nichole hates these. She's dyslexic. I actually have no issue with it. I wonder if Travis does? hmm will have to ask.

I had no trouble with it at all. Someone on facebook posted something that was either spelled with all number (characters) or a combination of numbers and words. It took me about a minute to adjust, but once I did I could read it just fine.
 
I could read this too. Interesting post! I think difficult child 1 and easy child/difficult child 3 would have no trouble reading this too. However, I doubt difficult child 2 would be able to read this. If I remember, I'll print it and take it with me when I see him over the holidays. Thanks for sharing this. SFR
