The title says it all, let's flex your mind for a minute. Take a look through the eyes of someone with a reading barrier. This book creatively uses homophones to simulate what it would be like to struggle with reading. This was not written to poke fun at anyone with a reading barrier. WARNING, THIS BOOK MAY CAUSE ANXIETY, FRUSTRATION, OR EVEN LAUGHTER. Now you can experience the frustrations that millions of people feel on a daily basis. This is not a simulation of any one particular condition, but just a mental exercise. Example: EYE KNEED TWO PAWS FROM THYME TOO TIME TWO THINK. These phrases work best without any regional accents. So if a word isn’t making sense, try reading it with a Midwest accent. Or as we in Minnesota like to think of it as, “No Accent”. This book contains 75 individual sentences comprised of as many improperly used homophones as I could cram into one sentence. Read them in your head and see if your brain can decode the sentence. If you can't get it, try reading them out loud. There isn't any magic involved, just wordplay! Enjoy!
