You must not be very familiar with eduction. Experts are paid handsomely (from our hard work) to reinvent the wheel every few years. The phonics phase is so 1990s and whole-word memorization is back. The only trend that public education will not return to is the classical trivium method. Thats because it works.
The Chicago Public Schools is phonics-based in reading instruction starting in kindergarten.

Good for them. Now if the rest of the country would just follow suit we could have some progress.
