But, but, but ... phonics! What about phonics? Isn't phonics the one, true way to teach our kids to learn to read good? You just learn the sounds that different letters make in English (and the five million exceptions) and then you can puzzle out any word at all. The example from Cambridge looks suspiciously like the dreaded "look and say" method.
