Reading comprehension

[ben62670]

Seeing I r semi lisdexic I found this kinda funny. I can probably read this nearly as fast as if it were correct:o


fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too. Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be
in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig hu h? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

The explanation is simple and has nothing to do with dyslexia. The human mind doesn't read words and letters. Only when you first start to read do you do that. After a few years of reading, your mind starts to recognize patterns and you are reading the patterns of common words instead of the actual words. That's why common spelling and typing mistakes can get overlooked so often.

Forgot my smilie:(;)

[Fireman32]

Im able to read it fine.

My addendum to this is that it helps if the "tall" letters are in close to the right place as well. The only reason people can read so fast is that we skip most of the letters and as someone said, look for the known patterns.

Don't sell yourself short,you're one of the chosen ones.:D

[BaggedLancer]

I read it fine, just as fast as normal.....about 2 words per minute.

[edbert]

I could read it fine. If you want a real challenge, try reading something that has been spelled out phonetically. That stuff is pretty crazy. I'll see if I can find some examples.

[RuSsMaN]

Arrrrrr!!!

[nikolas812]

I can read it as fast as usual also. Very neat indeed.

[fatchowmein]

I wonder how this facters into speed reading? I know I'm not to read out every word in my mind but that's easier said then done after decades of reading that way.

Sorry for hjincaikg.

I learned how to "speed read" in the service. You don't look at every word, just the structure of it. It helped with studying. just scan the whole page and look for key words, then back up, and see what the reference is.
Reading for pleasure is a different story.
