I didn't learn phonics - phonics vs sight reading is a...very *heated* debate in education and the standard method is swapped every couple years/decades :P

I am involved in the education of two first graders right now. One has a solid phonics background and painstakingly sounds out new words. The other has a sight reading background and looks at the first/last letter, guesses based on context, and then gives up if incorrect.

and you know, given what's known of language acquisition in children, it makes complete sense to me that reading is based primarily on individual word recognition

Replying to @raptros_ @eigenrobot and
their "cueing" method sounds like it's a good description of how I read /now/ as a compulsively hyperliterate adult but it's not at all how I /learned/ to read, nor how kids should
