I received the above paragraph over email and was amazed by the fact that my brain is built such that I could actually read this. I was even more astonished to find that I could read this scrambled paragraph at almost the same rate of speed at which I would have read it if all the words were presented in the correct order. What does this say about my brain? [No, I am not dyslexic ;-)] What does this say about the brains of those of us who can't figure out some or all of the scrambled words? I don't have the answer to either of these questions, but I am definitely intrigued by the concept of all the magnificent things our brains can do!
Maybe being "hooked on phonics" isn't the end-all be-all of human existence it is cracked up to be ;-)
Happy Birthday #54 to ME!

It's amazing that we can read the paragraph but I wouldn't my kids to turn in a paper written like that.
Well....I could understand it myself. *sigh* But I know I am crazy. LOL
I've seen that one before, and it still gets me everytime!
Don't worry about blogger. That's what we get for dealing with free ish... just keep trying :)
I seen this before. A simplistic explanation (I have a master's in psychology and education) is that our brain forms paradigms or patterns that we refer to often in everyday life...we expect to see certain forms or words follow others, etc. As a former teacher, this speaks to whole language as a form of literacy instruction! Although I think phonics is best!
yeah...that one took me through a loop too when I saw it...a wise man once told me that words are a puzzle on the page...hmmmm
Blogger been buggin out...so I'm got my own .com....I just need to set it up at some point this week!
