The Solution: Fonetic English Adds the Missing Information

Fonetic English adds three pieces of information to standard spelling: superscript sound characters (standard letters showing the actual sound), greyed-out silent letters, and syllable break markers with stress indicators.
The spelling itself never changes. Every sightword built while reading Fonetic English text works identically in standard English — any book, any screen, any font, even handwriting. There is no transition step. No dependency.
Because words now make sense when sounded out, they are stored in long-term memory in 2–5 repetitions instead of 20–50. This is the difference between months and years of learning time.
