I get confused, when do you use an S instead of a C, why do we get both of them together in the same word?
The same with S and Z.
Ph and F
and as for I before E except after C, there are so many exceptions to make this rule almost meaningless.

This was my alphabet for infant school, Hergé describes very well how I try to spell, the ITA spelling was abandoned when I got to Primary school, non of the teachers believed I had been taught in this way, I came from a different infant school from everyone else in the class.
Ladybird books did a whole range of ITA books.
I obviously didn’t know I was autistic and have dyslexia, I was put into remedial lessons with what the teachers called ‘the pond life.’


Yes, I was also taught using ITA. When the teacher announced that in the real world an entirely different alphabet and spelling system was used and we had to switch to it, I gained a very usefully jaundiced view of all systems of hierarchy and a distrust of things I was told that I could not verify.
I too went to a Junior School whose Infant department did not use ITA, I came 130th out of 134 in my year in spelling. What a surprise!
