Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers are in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses but you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we don’t raed ervey lteter but the wrod as a wlohe. So, hey, waht deos tihs say abuot the improtnace of phnoics* in raeidng? Prorbalby taht phicnos ins’t vrey imoptrnat at all. How apcoltapyic is taht, in the cuerrnt licetary wras!
*For the record, I am a firm believer in a balanced approach to literacy—both phonics and whole language!
