Phonics is a necessary component of learning to read. You can't
memorize all of the words in the English language. You need skills
to know how to approach a words you don't know. I did a lot of
subbing in the middle schools during the whole language time. The
kids who had no phonics stood out and had no clue how to approach
words they hadn't memorized.

has been replaced by what is insignificant and easy to measure. So
now we test how well we have taught what we do not value."
