Readspel

Readspel is a new script or writing system invented by Kingsley Read. It is based on the Roman alphabet, but with new meanings for the letters, so that each symbol represents a distinct phoneme in the English language, and, more importantly, each phoneme in English can be represented with only one symbol. This allows English to be written with the following advantages:

*Spellings are based on how words sound, simplifying the process of learning to read and write for both children and those learning English as a second language.
*Pronunciation is evident from the spelling, making it easier for native speakers to learn new words, as well as for non-native speakers to learn the language from written sources.
*Writing is more compact.

The adoption of Readspel would constitute a spelling reform.
