I think it’s bad to teach the strategies used exclusively by the worst readers and not strategies used by fluent readers (such as sounding out words), didn’t think that would be controversial. And yes, a large amount of schools specifically didn’t teach sounding out words due to a program they were sold. Look up Reading Recovery and Marie Clay if you want to learn more. Or talk to an American middle/high school teacher to see how well this turned out.

No, when we were teaching our child to read they would try to do this instead of sounding out or reading the words and just make up whatever the pictures looked like. It wasn’t taught that way to them as far as I know, it was just a sneaky way of cheating, which didn’t work. Now they can read at 2 grade levels higher than they are because we taught them how to sound out words correctly.

Sure, but the obvious implication is that they will stay that way. “You need to learn how to read to know how to read” is the whole point
