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 wouldn't say WITHOUT problem-it took me about 4 times longer to read this
paragraph than it would a similar length paragraph that wasn't... "muddled" ,
if you will. :~) But that's my problem! LOL

Peace,

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.

I didn't really find it harder, per-se, just slower. I don't read with my
finger underneath, but I do tend to skip over several words at a time and read
very fast. I had to read each word and kind of "double check" they were what I
assumed. Typos seem to jump out at me, too, so maybe that has something to do
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
