I am no scholar, but the proof is in the pudding. If you look at a paragraph in which all but the first and last letters are scrambled, and can read it. Well, then you can read it. If not, you cannot. Look, some people can read full sentences at a time with no real differentiation between words. These people simply put the full structure of the sentence together in their mind and understand it. Others need to read each word for comprehension, but not each individual letter. Someone who is just learning to read or has a learning disability needs to sound each letter out in order to understand the word. The long and the short of it is that no two people comprehend things in the same way. My Four year old son is a good reader for his age, but he would not be able to understand the meme. I on the other hand am not the brightest person in the world, but am an extremely fast reader. When I first read it, I did not even realize that the words were scrambled. It is relative people…No big mystery.

Meredith, I also saw that there was a letter/word missing from the statement. There should be an A in there, between without and problem. It should say, without a problem. Also the word important is spelled correctly, I don’t know who saw it as being spelled importent, but they are wrong.

Re: post #28

your student could possibly be somewhere on the autism spectrum. i have asperger’s syndrome and i am phenomenal when it comes anagrams and word puzzles (though i also read and spell very well) a fewe diagnostics might benefit both your student and his future teachers.

@bobby I’d have to agree. Long words are really hard to unscramble, even if you keep the first and last letter in the same place.

I’m sorry, but I’m dislexic and I read the paragraph the first time without any hint that it was jumbled. I did not have to mentally solve it as a puzzle. I did not know if the study had been done at Cambridge or not but I took the context of the meme and applied it to emails that I starting sending to people and no one replied or seemed to understand what I was saying. And some large words, when you jumble the letters – they do become a puzzle. Take “cheersonmipn” for example. Now if you can look at that the first time and without thinking about it and come up with comprehension – then I would have to say you are brilliant.
