Unifon is an alternative set of letters for English, in which there is one letter per sound and one sound per letter. Teaching it to kids instead of standard English lets them learn how to read a lot sooner and a lot faster. Further info available at http://www.datapacrat.com/unifon/ and http://www.unifon.org/ .
Eh, I never had trouble learning to read standard English- I taught myself to read at 2, and not with those damnable "See Spot Run"-type books, either... :)
But I'm one of those weird types-- I kinda like Shavian for my English alternative. ;)
BTW, toddler Dee is adorable. :)
