As you may have guessed I like reading phenomenon’s, here are a couple more I picked up…

The first is a ‘Nonsense Passage’ which my mum gave me, it is used to test weaknesses in reading possibly as an indication to dyslexia. Apparently it highlights an over-reliance on rote word learning, and a lack of understanding of the regularities of the writing system… whatever that means? Still thought it was interesting:

One day a mib fell into the feg. So gruny was he that he cried, “Ober, give me a throld!” He climbed out, shook the water off and ran back to his dom. She said, “Oh stid,” and gave him a reb lim drack.

The second is really more of a tongue twister, I have yet to say the following whole sentence correctly at a reasonable speed:

One smart fellow, he felt smart.
Two smart fellows, they felt smart.
Three smart fellows, they all felt smart

The poor fellow just ends up smelling bad every time!
