Or try turning the card upside down! Then challenge the same or a different
reader.   We had a shole wall painted with such coloured words, and not only
did it add attractive colours to the gallery, but was an interesting exhibit
as well. (not to mention low maintenance - yippee).

Then try this with kids who cannot read very well.  Obviously these kids
should be better at this task than most good readers.

A favorite visual illusion of mine is to list 8 or 10  words on a large card
that are names for common colors.  Red.  Blue.  Green. Yellow.

Drop me a note if you would like further clarification,  and good luck with
your show.
