It's only almost true. I, like many, learned with a phonics system and did manage to read that paragraph though it was annoying. I know a person who pretty much learned to read on his own usinga whoel word approach and he has trouble with simple misspellings - the patterns no langer match a known reference. So I expect this gimmick can work with many but not all people. And I further suspect that anyone using this to promote whole word or whole language should look deeper into things.

If I have the time, I think I'll look up similar studies. When I did my senior-year paper for psycholinguistics, one paper I referenced talked about Swedish-speaking dyslexics reading English better than Swedish because of the 'whole word' comphrension.
