I read somewhere that it doesn’t matter to us as humans what the order of letters within a word is, as long as the first and last are correct. For example, we can use the sentence: “Zeiots is tcoh utondzrejilk?” read perfectly. Now the question was whether people who have dyslexia would also be able to do this.
Answer
People with dyslexia will not can read automatically, with them reading is a process of accurately spelling and combining letters into a word. Sentences like this are reading exercises for understanding what it might mean to live with dyslexia.
