The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

This should be, "...wouthit a porbelm." Though the last statement is true, some folks have made the error in reading instruction to try to instruct by whole word only. An alphabetic system has the advantage over ideographic systems in that the reader can encounter a word in print he has never seen before, but which he may have heard, and use a phonetic approach to get a clue as to what the word is. One is almost entirely lost with ideograms in a similar situation. And while reading takes place at far too great a rate to be the result of mentally sounding out the letters to identify the word, being able to do this very slowly gives a beginning reader a degree of positive feedback and a sense of accomplishment that is entirely lacking in trying to learn to read ideograms.

Man, they took long enough to publish. I was reading about this back in the 1970's in Psycholinguistics and Reading by Kenneth S. Goodman. Though he and others of the psycholinguistic approach back then TOTALLY missed the point of phonics as the best instructional approach to beginning reading.
