| Keywords: Initial Teaching Alphabet ITA chart.svg Basic chart of characters of the Initial Teaching Alphabet a semi-phonetic orthography of English mainly intended to make learning to read easier Each section of the chart is organized into three rows the first includes the ITA letter while the second indicates the main sound written by the letter in IPA notation basically using the English Wikipedia en Wikipedia IPA_for_English conventions but avoiding the use of an hw digraph for a single phonetic sound The third row gives an English word containing the sound written in ordinary current spelling with the sound occurring at the beginning of the word if possible at both the beginning and end of the word if convenient If the sound does not occur at the beginning of the example word the letters used to write the sound are bolded Note that whether the sound k is written with the letters c or k depends on the way the sound is written in current standard English spelling as also whether the sound z is written with the ordinary z letter or the backwards flipped version of z resembling s There is also no letter for unstressed schwa ə as such it is written with full vowel symbols The order of the symbols in the chart is not the official ITA alphabet order but is more practically useful for presenting the characters in four rows of eleven The official ITA letter names zess etc are not included For the expansion of the ITA from 44 to 45 letters not shown in this graphic see the Wikipedia article en Initial_Teaching_Alphabet Self-made graphic created from scratch based on fonts and publicly-available information 2010-11 AnonMoos English spelling reform Latin alphabet charts James Pitman | ||||
