you know kids who can’t read can’t read the dictionary, right? being able to “sound out” a word doesn’t mean anything if you aren’t connecting phonemes to concepts

the reason phonics and whole-word comprehension cyclically wax and wane in relative importance is that you really need both.

yep. most users, by design, are now only going notes-deep. in 18 months it’ll be indistinguishable from x dot com

how are you going to figure out a word if you know what the sounds are but don’t know what word those sounds make or what the word means?
