Can YOU Read This?


This very interesting study comes to my attention every now and then and I just think it is so cool. I wanted to share this and would love to get your response on how well you could read it.

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 huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!


They say that only 55 out of 100 can read this. Please comment and let me know which part of the 100 you are. I have no problem reading it myself and it just blows my mind that I can! What say you?

  3. It's really interesting..I can read it. When kids start to read they always start with initial and final letters. They sometimes get hung up on what's in the middle.

  4. I could read it. I also snagged four people to see if they could, they had no problems. That was neat!
    I like your Kool-Aid notebooks. :)

  5. That IS cool. I had no problem reading it. I'm going to see if my sis can read it. She has dyslexia so it will be interesting.

  6. Yep, it's official.....I am strange! That was fun and I actually think I read it faster with the letters jumbled up. Hmmm.....I wonder what that means?

  8. This is very neat! I have seen this in e-mails and can also read it. I've wondered if someone with dyslexia would be able to read it as well?
