phonics are only remotely useful between kindergarten and second grade, after that they are a hindrance as the child should be actually learning how to read. Phonics is bullshit and trying to reuse hearing for reading instead of treating reading as a similar but independent idea. How many people that grew up with phonics can read and hold a conversion?
