I went to school with a lad who had come from Derby. He'd been taught like that. We had great fun asking him to spell things.

A system of artificial phonics which, amongst other nonsense had a backwards letter a. 

Eg: take would be: taek, with the a joined to the e.

No issue with this except that they thought we'd "just pick it up" when we changed to "real" books.

Stupid >:(

I sense you still have issues

I was initially taught that method, moved schools, no one ever thought to check and it wasn't until secondary school anyone tried to teach me to spell because I was labeled dyslexic. Thankfully my chemistry teacher had the sense to ask!

Me too...when I first heard people spelling things (the correct way) I thought it was a foreign language :(

Being new in a school and asking for the spelling of 'was', and the teacher getting the whole class to shout it at me was a particular low point!

But then I was asked on my first day of teacher training by a year 5 kid to spell selubrious (sic), so I said 'w.i.t.h. A. D.i.c.t.o.n.a.r.y'!
