You mean me trying to learn to spell is not as important anymore? I just have to know the first and last letters? or does this not work if you miss some in the middle? :confused:

I would guess all the letters need to be there as it does say, "we read the word as a whole."

*pout* oh well, back to studying the dictionary I guess :rolleyes:
 
My dad was dyslexic and never learned to read and write very well... he stopped school in 5th grade. There were times when I was a kid that he would leave me notes and I literally could not read them, they were spelled so badly. Much worse than the above!

The words above have all the correct letters in them, just not in the proper place, except for the first and last letter.
