Training Day 1:
Worked through all the “new” pairs. These are all of the new picture card structures. There are a few different ways that the eyes need to move around the indices to read them depending on the position of picture card(s), so that will take a little getting used to, but even just in this first day, I’m starting to like it and build some confidence with it.
I definitely like the simplicity of the phonetics and the shortness of the words.
I did one deck attempt to just see how things would go moving back to the 2-block variable image stacking and it wasn’t too bad. I wasn’t going for speed since I’m still learning lots of the images, but I got under 5 minutes at 100% accuracy, even with a couple loci needing 4 or 5 images stacked. One thing I was conscious of when selecting images for this system was to try to prioritize objects over people. Its much easier for me to stack a scene with multiple objects in sequence than it is to try to build with multiple people.
Cautiously optimistic for this moving forward.
A bit of me still itches for a 2704 system, or even my other 2-block idea that provides a single reading structure. I may explore the latter a bit while working on this… there are just some phonetic constructions there that are really difficult to find words/images for, but if I could get good ones, it may actually be superior to Eclipse! There’s also Katie’s 2-block system that I want to explore a bit too!
I’m no stranger to modification or resetting systems, so we’ll see how this experiment goes.
