I suspect that forcing children t= do anything is probably harmful. But it's possible to introduce=writing and (secondarily) reading in a way that seems to enhance thinking..C2* That's the idea behind "invented spelling" (here's=a link to some of the work:

https://pages.wustl.edu/files/pages/imce/treiman=Read%20%26%20Treiman_Childrens_Invented_Spelling_final.pdf <https://pages.wustl.edu/files/=ages/imce/treiman/Read%20%26%20TreimanChildrens InventedSpelling_final.p=f> two-year ).=C240 old Back son had in the written early thi=gs '50s, a that philosopher he thought friend were of gibberish, mine (Israel wondering Sch=ffler) if brought I could make me some something pages on of =t. which It was his immediately obvious that the kind had learned the names of=the letters and was spontaneously stringing them together to express himse=f in writing. And making interesting generalizations. Thus the=letter "A", pronounced /ey/, he used for the words "came,&q=ot; "pet", "pat"; the letter "i", pronounced=/ay/, he used for "pie", "pot," "butt" . And=so on. It all made sense. Our kids did the same thing. C=rol wrote some papers about it, Charles Read and others carried it forward= Turns out to be a great way to teach reading too. Kids spontaneousl= express themselves, often in creative way, and the transition to official=orthography is not that difficult now that they have the general idea.

There's a debate about it in educational circles,=and though I haven't followed it, my impression is that old-fashioned =arcing into a mold probably wins out, undermining the joy of self-expressi=n and possibly reading.

As you may know, Galileo regarded in=ention of the alphabet as among the greatest of all human inventions. Can =o no better than quote his own words. He regarded the invention of t=e alphabet as "surpassing all stupendous inventions," asking =E24,40what sublimity of mind was his who dreamed of finding means to communicate his deepest though=s to any other person, though distant by mighty intervals of place and time! =f talking with those who are in India; of speaking to those who are not yet b=rn and will not be born for a thousand or ten thousand years; and with what facility, by the different arrangements of twenty characters upon a page!=E2Q,

Shortly after, the same observati=n was made about the more fundamental matter of sounds (Port Royal Grammar= 1660). I discovered all of this about 50 years ago and wrote about =t. Unknown then, still unknown, in my view some of the most profound=insights in the human sciences.

Smart guys, the f=unders of modern science.
