Regularized English/Regularized Inglish: A Proposal for an Effective Solution of the Reading Problem in the English-speaking Countries.
Wijk, Axel
This book presents a transitional spelling system, called "Regularized Inglish," which the author proposes as an improved method of reading instruction in English-speaking countries. The system is a phonetic reading approach that eliminates the irregular spellings found in a large number of the most commonly used words in the English language. Chapters of the book develop a method of reading instruction based on Regularized Inglish and compare this reading scheme to other schemes now in use. There is also a discussion of the Bullock Report on the Enquiry into Reading and the Use of English and a copy of a letter from the author to the Bullock Committee. (RL)
