I learnt to read using ITA and still have the book 'three littl funny wunz'.
It was intended to give you a kick start into reading by making it possible
to
read phonetically so that you could read more interesting stories
before you got the hang of all the english exceptions. I loved it, and
enjoyed reading.
I do not know if it worked better than the regular method because I didn't
have a 'control me' doing the other method. =)

I guess it was sort of wysiwyg english =)).
