I am reminded of this thread I read recently:

Basically how reading is being taught has shifted from phonetics based to context based and it is not setting folks up for success.
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy
