I'm a BIG fan of author Shel Silverstain. He wrote a wild book of poems called, Runny Babbit, A Billy Sook by Shel Silverstein. The entire book has poems with first letters of words switched around. It's hugely challenging to read the little short poems, but boy does it tap into your BRAIN POWER! All age groups can enjoy this! Soooo...I have recorded another Vocaroo. And if you care to look up more about Shel--his website is awesome! And lots of cool stuff in the classroom!
Take care...good luck getting everything done.

ReplyDeleteSwitching letters around reminds me of a study a few years ago that showed how people can read entire paragraphs of switched around letters, possibly without even noticing. Here is the example that I read:
"Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."
Isn't that just crazy?!
