Most people will just pick out key words.

Trehe is a teohry taht it deosn't matetr waht oredr the lettres in a wrod are as lnog as the fisrt and lsat leettrs are in the cerroct pacle -the bairn wlil ucnrbmasle tehm.
Wehn you are seped raednig the smae ligoc alpeips.
(There is a theory that it doesn't matter what order the letters in a word are as long as the first...etc.)
It is likely, therefore, that in reading a sentence, the brain is skimming the important words, and not the whole sentence. Patterns soon begin to emerge that the brain will focus in on to make sense of what is written.

Acrcndiog to resecarh at Cimdrgabe Unierivsty, it deson't meattr what oderr the lertets in a word are, the only ionramptt thnig is that the frist and last lttrees are at the right palce.
The rset can be a toatl mess and you can sitll raed it wutihot a pboelrm. This is becsuae we do not raed every letetr by itself but the wrod as a whloe.

Probably just the key words. It's why our brains can make sense of sentences with major spelling errors if the first and last letters of each word are correct.

I read the key words as I was taught to speed read when I was a student ( a few yrs ago now lol ) It does mean you can read quicker and you dont actually miss anything !

Mostly the latter, unless the sense of the sentence jars as not quite right, in which case each word is read.

What a graet question! I do both. If it's a crucial part of the story, I read every word. If it's a filler, I scan and imagine the scene.

I think that I usually read all of the words.

It depends on what I'm reading. Some text needs more careful reading than others.
