In kindergarten the best readers are the ones who try writing in their own personal phonetic way. This shows the need for a simple phonetic system based on phonics where kids can actually write the sounds they hear.See http://justpaste.it/truequest
Thanks for the comment and resource, Thomas! I know we had a discussion on your approach a few weeks back. I hope others will comment on their use of Truespel phonics!
