Phonics.
Still.
This must be one of the NYT’s stopped clock moments. :)

---yes---while I almost never even clickon a NYT article this is correct and the disgusting part is we have been going through this "debate" for most of my lifetime.
"Phonics" is the only proper way to learn to read---

I taught all my children to read before kindergarten using Hooked on Phonics. Since they were already reading, it was harder for any “credentialed” teacher to screw them up.
Still wound up home-schooling them eventually.

We used phonics, as well, and threw in lots of etymology. Phonics instructions gives opportunity to teach Greek sounds, prefixes, suffixes, etc ... all of which, imho, contribute to the sounding out of most words.

They need explicit, systematic phonics instruction. 75 posted on
