Why don't American high schools teach phonics? Because if you have not learned to read by high school, you probably cannot learn to read using phonics. Contrary to many bloggers and rumor-mongers, phonics was and is still the main way reading is taught in America.

Another reason that phonics aren't taught in high school is that English is not a terribly phonetic language. If you've never seen it, look up the “I love Lucy” scene involving Ricky reading a story that uses almost every way that “ough” can be pronounced: through, though, bough, enough, etc.

Why do letter names exist in parallel with their phonic sounds?
It goes back to the days of Latin, since unlike the Greek alphabet, which had actual names for its letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon etc.), it mostly took the sound that the letter stood for and if needed added an /e/ (short or long) to it

Is phonics a good way to teach reading?
It can also be argued that analytic phonics helps to speed up the process of reading altogether. This is because teaching one rime, for example “ill”, can help decode a whole host of other words.

How useful is Phonics?
Phonics is a vital step in building the foundation of literature. A significant foundation in building your child's speaking, reading and writing abilities. It helps students to pronounce words acurately with the help of letter sounds.

Is it important to speak slowly and clearly with good phonics?
Yes. When you speak slowly, you have more control of your words. It will give you time to think about the next idea or thought. Speaking clearly will not leave space to misunderstandings.
