I have done this with a passage from a refrigeration text... Very different and a passage explaining the rules to a game that was from another country. No backgrond knowledge and unfamiliar vocab with technical language made understanding impossible. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I just did this for a class I am taking in reading disabilities. I used Canterbury Tales. It was very challenging because I could read many of the words but overall had no idea what it meant. It was telling for being able to decode without comprehension and also a challenging in pronounciation. It had everything!
