Can You Read This?
 

Hi all, I received the following by email and thought it might be interesting to see the results from our members. Please read the following and answer. Yes I could read it the 1st/ 2nd or 3rd, time ect, or no I couldn�t read it.

I�m travelling at the moment so I�ll try to post this again later today for our other time zone members and the criterion and results tomorrow.

Enjoy.

This is weird, but interesting!

There is a website where you can copy your text and it scrambles it in this way. :-D
It is actually better to move the letters no more than 2-3 spaces...

Is there anybody who happens to know the website for scrambling the text with first and last letter left?
Let me know if you do. Thanks!

Yeah it �s cool! I have it in Serbian as well. Great fun for our students too - just to show them that the English spelling can get even more complicated without causing too much difficulty  :)

You can also try out this with your students: print any text as a mirror image (find in the printing options) and let them rewrite it in the correct order. It �s an excellent spelling practice!
