the word "paomnnehal" made me pause :P
Yeah I think the ease of understanding is because the words are small and they are all in a context of simple sentences where we can kinda guess what word should be there anyway. If one was to make a list of random words with say 7 or more letters each, that might be another story.mark said:

Actually phonics is probably the best way to learn reading for young people. Sounding out letters (and bearing in mind certain rules such as "igh" sounds like "eye") is the way that I learned to read. It was also the way generations of people learned to read before me. Then shortly after I went through that system, they brought in a system called "word recognition", which is a "whole language" approach. The change was a complete and utter disaster. So many people who are now in their early twenties are the worst readers and writers the country has known. Before that, people could spell and write properly. So the old system of phonics was actually very successful.Kel said:
