Interesting. I know when my boys were in grade 1 and 2 they were taught to
read by the shape of the word. I thought it was very strange. They did not
learn how to sound out words. And to this day their spelling is atrocious.
It really got me when I would correct their spelling and they would say "But
it's history, we don't get marked on spelling." Grrr...

Yup, especially when my daughter read it and
didn't spot what was *wrong* with it.
