The brain's of good readers use the context to help it speed along. As you come to the end of a sentence, the context gives you a good clue as to what the last few words will be. Your brain then does a quick check of the word to see if it matches the expected results...the first letter, a few of the other letters, the last letter...then it just skips ahead. By the time you've processed the last sentence, your brain is working on starting the next one. It all happens in an instant, so you don't necessarily know you are doing it...but that helps explain why the order of the letters wouldn't necessarily be as important.
I would guess that "context" readers would be able to read that paragraph much better than "word" readers. On 12/13/06, Erika L.
