Leicestershire Police promote phonetic alphabet to youngsters
Leicstershire Police have reproduced the standard phonetic alphabet in the 'Kid's Zone' of their website, at http://www.leics.police.uk/advice/
7_kids_zone/63_phonetic_alphabet/
They comment "Some letters of the alphabet sound the same and sometimes it can be difficult to hear what a person is saying if they are in a noisy place. For this reason police officers use a phonetic alphabet when spelling out words over their radios, which makes it much easier for other people to understand what they are saying. "
I thought that Foundation instructors and others introducing radio to children might be interested in this example from the real world.
