Experimental spelling methods 1960 - 1970
Hi
When I started primary school in Scotland during the early 1970's I was amongst the last year that was subject to a new spelling method. It used phonetic characters e.g. =E6 to represent the spoken sound.
Come the second year I had to unlearn all that I had already leanrt.
Would someone please tell me what the name of this programme/language was? My google skills seem to be failing me on this one!
