okay gotcha.

I'm definitely talking about the second example here (assigning meaning). I learned Phonics as a kid (Hooked On Phonics and all that), guess I never thought about it much as an adult.

Though I'm not the fastest reader, my retention is typically higher than average, even as I age, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.




Yeah, the story is about how phonics was basically abandoned. And how disastrous that has been for reading education.
