IMO, this system would only be good for speech class in a deaf educational setting. There is also other ways to learn the proper English structure, such as the much-disliked SEE approach. Hearing education-wise, my godchildren are learning this way, and I have noticed that they do make some mistakes in spelling. They do have spelling classes at the school too, and the teachers force them to practise their spelling and writing sentences. It really helps them to spell better.
This brings up another thing to my mind... in high schools, some teachers do not correct their students' mistakes because they feel that criticising their students would hinder their creativity process. I read a book when I was working at Borders, called "The Dumbing Down of Our Students" or something like that and it was very interesting to read. Maybe you should read it too.
