Claim:
A method for learning the orthographic spelling of a word comprising the steps of: creating a typeable phonetic alphabet pronunciation key comprising: a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns which cooperatively divide the key into a plurality of cells which are respectively formed by the intersection of said plurality of rows and said plurality of columns wherein each of said cells includes one of a representation letter and a combination of letters which respectively form a bic and wherein said key includes only forty four unique bics and wherein each of said forty four unique bics are used to form and represent only forty four sounds and wherein each of said bics are composed only of Conventional Roman letters which are typically deployed upon a conventional English typewriter, wherein said pronunciation key being further divided into three distinct portions which each respectively include a first set of said bics which only represents vowel sounds, a second set of said bics which only represent vowel plus R sounds, and a third set of said bics which only represents consonant sounds and wherein said first of said, three distinct portions includes only three classifications of said vowel sounds, wherein a first of said classifications only includes a short sound, a second of said classifications only includes a long sound, and a third of said classifications only includes a vowel pair and wherein said second of said three distinct portions is arranged in a column and wherein said third of said three distinct portions includes a first unigraph bic portion that only has eighteen bics, a second digraph bic portion that only has five bics, and a third trigraph portion that only has a single bic and wherein said typeable phonetic alphabet pronunciation key includes a listing having a first column of alphabetically arranged words which are each spelled using the typeable phonetic alphabet and a second column of orthographical spelled words which is disposed in close proximity to said first column; hearing said word; phonetically spelling said word after hearing said word using the typeable phonetic alphabet pronunciation key; by alphabetical order, finding said orthographically spelled word, within said listing; and comparing said found orthographically spelled word with said phonetically spelled word and associating, by memory, said orthographically spelled word with said phonetically spelled word, thereby facilitating learning the orthographic spelling of said word.
