That's seriously fucked up.

Wonder how many other people have trouble as a result of this? I know I probably would have. :zombiefuck:

All three of us siblings in my family are naturally good spellers, but if we'd been taught the I.T.A. method, we might not have been.
I wonder if there's been any research into the long-term effects of I.T.A. upon spelling ability!   :nerd!:
Yeah, look how scrap turned out.  :lol:

Awww poor Scrap! The thing is, many people are poor spellers no matter how they learned to read; I just wonder if I.T.A. students
have more trouble than phonics-method students, or if there is a different pattern to their mistakes.   :chin:

My spelling was fucked up enough already that would have really done a number on me.

Never heard of it. Not a great speller though.

I take it that I'm the only one here who went through this.

Maybe more survivors will surface later. I'd never even heard of this barbaric system!  :zombiefuck:

Hopefully it got shit canned before it was used too much. It's like training to not actually hit during free style.  :thumbdn:

Your lucky you didn't move far away after learning it to finish elementary school like I did.  While i didn't learn that my elementary school was big on all the "new" methods of teaching and I was in special classes for dyslexia and fine motor skill problems  when I moved to Florida the schools were set up like the 1950's it was a big shock.  Dyslexia was looked at as being stupid

Any advantage of the I.T.A. in making it easier for children to learn to read English was often offset by some children not being able to effectively transfer their I.T.A.-reading skills to reading standard English orthography, and/or being generally confused by having to deal with two alphabets in their early years of reading
- from Wikipedia.

I had enough trouble with the alphabet as it was, with this method, you would have to learn it twice!

I went to school in the early 80s so we didn't use this method. We had Sam and Pam and Nat the cat and Digger the dog. :D
