The primary school I went to was one of the unfortunates that experimented (or more accurately, was experimented upon!) with the phonetic learning version of English called ITA (Initial teaching Alphabet) in the '70s. It was a misguided idea that just created schools full of poor spellers!
As it happened I could read before I went, so they had to dig out a copy of each book in English just for me! XD The whole class had shiny Ladybird books written in ITA, and I alone had dog-eared English ones. The poor teacher had to write everything on the blackboard twice.. talk about setting off not feeling like part of the crowd! ^_^ After half a year, a lad from another school joined who also using English so I felt a bit less egregious. :D
