New Alphabet To Improve Reading In Britain
A 43 letter augmented Roman alphabet will be tested in Britain this September with about 8000 children in 24 schools as pupils. The system uses 18 new letters and 24 old ones, eliminating capitals and assigning one sound per letter. Teachers and researchers expect quicker reading, though full results will take years. Sir James Pitman champions AR while John Downing notes reduced sounds, and the plan aims to aid learning rather than reform spelling.
