[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can somebody say "phonics didn't work?" That is how all phonetic languages work. A symbol corresponds to a sound and then you put it together. [/quote] My child is a visual learning. They learned through sight reading very early. Every child learns differently.[/quote] My kid also learned by sight reading and hated the phonics lessons I gave him. When he got a bit older though he would still sound out longer unfamiliar words - sounding it out is using phonics. English has lots of irregular words but decoding/phonics are the foundation of reading, for everyone. Many kids figure it out on their own - but many others don't. So teachers or parents need to teach them. Or else they won't be fluent readers, ever.[/quote]
