Sunform Discovers Literacy's Missing Link
The letters in our English alphabet are totally abstract.
Each letter has been arbitrarily given
a name, a sound, and a shape.
Learning this information requires rote memorization.
For Example:

The letter name for "C" is pronounced "see".

Its sound is /K/.

It must be formed like this:

Similarities between letter sounds, especially
short vowels and
shapes such as b and d,
continuously confuse students and
interfere with the literacy process.
Sunform's Solution to the Missing Link
The Sunform Alphabet System has been specifically designed to:
transform abstract symbols into
meaningful letters.
First:
Turn the letter into a picture of an object.
The name of the object begins with the same sound of that of the letter,
stimulating recall of the letter sound.
Second:
The letter shape contains a visual image which
stimulates motor movements for writing.
In other words:
The object's beginning sound and shape must be
identical to the letter sound and letter shape.
As students draw the picture, they form the letter!
