Initial Teaching Alphabet
The Initial Teaching Alphabet was developed by Sir James Pitman[?] (the grandson of Sir Isaac Pitman[?]) as a tool for teaching children to read. Although it was popular in the 1960s, it has fallen into disuse. It has 44 symbols, each of which is intended to represent a single sound.
