I've seen this before...isn't it great?
Not that my kids are reading better, I'd like them to try.
Some kids I've heard have trouble reading it. Especially if they haven't been reading long.
What did other find?

I think it depends on *how* you read. I read several lines at once and
forward and backward and kind of "swirly"---as Sandra puts it. So it's REALLY easy
for me to read.
I have a hard time reading with my finger underneath the words (the way
Duncan would PREFER that I read! ) because I get snagged on each word. It's not
natural for me.

When I first read it, a while back, I didn't even realize something was
wrong with it. Took me a few seconds to figure that out. Weird how
different brains work.

with it.

I too read in a swirly kind of pattern. I can read rather quickly as well. (that last email wasn't hard for me to read at all) To be forced to stop at every word is very frusterating! My oldest daughter (6yrs) wants me to put my finger under every word and its so hard to read that way! lol
