I think it's stupid.  I read the regular grade two just fine, but I hate 
this new stuff.  Pam.

There are words that you can’t combine together anymore like of the house to 
have a space between it. The sign for by like “by the seaside or byline Hass 
to be spelled out now.
Trust me, I’ve tried to read the stuff and I can’t. It’s too confusing. 
Punctuation changed a lot by the way. The simple.?, Etc. didn’t but have you 
looked at those parenthesis? Yeah they look a lot more like print so it’s 
easy for me to remember how to read.
