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!
We had parentt/teacher conferences with Dude’s teachers last week. I brought up the spelling issues. They said to keep working with him, but it really was not a big deal because there are so many tools available to help with spelling now. They also said that the thing that matters on the tests is if his incorrect spelling gets in the way of what he is trying to say. If it doesn’t, then it is not a big deal.

So wreid! I cluod tloatly raed taht whituot a pbreolm!
I read it too but am too lazy to write like that!
I could totally read it- but I thought it was the first grade teacher/second grade teacher in me. Guess not!
Sounds like he takes after his dad! (This is from a story I heard. Something about a notebook that Robert was yelled at for until they found words mispelled…)
That was fun. I think I am going to submit my next benefits proposal like that. I dont’ think anyone tries to read them anyway. They just come back denied.
