Early reading method!?

Question

My children were taught to read, in the UK, in the late '70s to early '80s using a hyroglyphics type method of lettering and strange sounds. Can anybody remember what it's called, if it's still used today and where I could obtain more information about it? I thought it very, successful!

Answer 1

It sounds like some version of being taught by phonics and I can tell you that phonics are still being used. For more information about phonics in general see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonics

Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

I think the method you are remembering is the ITA system. I can't remember what ITA stands for. I'm pleased that you found it successful, unfortunately it caused a lot of problems for some children who had to have remedial reading lessons later, others were OK of-course.
