Seeing the same exercise in Spanish was enlightening; I am maybe a low-intermediate reader of Spanish and found Hillary's post a lot more difficult. On the other hand, my advanced ESL students had little trouble with the original version Dottie posted. I wonder if this would work as well in a language with infixes and circumfixes or with more heavily compounded words -- and what the implications are for teaching reading.
