this makes perfect sense cuz i try to help my little sister learning to read and my mind just automatically reads these words like cat, hat, sat and trying to help her sound them out is so difficult. you gotta respect teachers who are able to teach children how to do things that evuantally becomes like a second nature to you.

Maybe they are just retarded? Not you or the kiddies..the teachers.

malibu #10.1.1 malibuOG 2001

no i think they're so intelligent. they are trying to teach little kids to do something that their brain no longer does. like sounding things out and such.

Wow..that's really cool. Does this effect people who read single words instead of whole sentences at once? yah know what I mean right?

I read through this really fast, but I still can't figure out this word: paomnnehil. I just keep looking at it and it doesn't pop out at me.

ilikebirds #4.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

phenomenal spelled phanomenil

iwz #4.1.1 iwz

ophelia #3 opheliaOG 2003

Yeah I read this blasting fast. BUT, if you do sit and actually look at the mess these words find them in, it give you a headache. Or it could be my headband. I'm still blaming it on this thread.
