I also participated in the IPA program in the 70s, 1st grade, NYS.  It included a 44 letter alphabet, where boi=boy.

I can still recite most of the alphabet, and was always at the top of the class in reading, writing, spelling. :1dunno1:

My mother actually had to sign a permission slip in order for me to attend, it was not mandatory, as there was only one first grade class to participate, and only taught for the the one year 72-73.

Interesting you can still recite the alphabet. Are you bilingual?

Bilingual ???  Not fluently, but can speak enough Spanish and Italian to get from one place to the other independently.  Actually, the Spanish alphabet is very similar phonetically to the IPA alphabet.

Original Message International Phonetic Alphabet

I distinctively remember being forced to learn this in 2nd grade. I think it was some experimental teaching conducted on only certain students.. I remember I thought it was stupid..
