Seems like bullshit to me, but then I was brought up on the phonics system in the 70s. No clue what they're teaching now.

Reality is probably a mix of phonics, predicting, and context.

For example, this bit:

Sure, but you're still going to say the fourth word is "research" and not "study" or "reindeer".

There was an example in a story about kids learning to read poorly (I don't think this one) about how a kid reading about WW2 got that "Poland was invited by Germany" because they didn't know the word invaded, so they dramatically misunderstood the history.

I didn't even realize they were out of order until Cambridge.
