Apparently, some schools in the U.S. didn’t teach phonics until recently (2014).
Did anyone here learn phonics in school?

Where is ‘here?’ I grew up in Midwest, US, and I absolutely learned phonics.
I just had the phonics monkey
This comment section is reminding me its not normal for me to have maybe a dozen memories from under age 13. I have never even heard of phonics i just know i can read. Idk how i learned to. When i read i just like do it. Its the same as listening it just happens.
I don’t remember ever hearing the word “phonics” except in commercials for Hooked on Phonics
That said, the concept of phonics was absolutely part of how I learned to read, even though they never outright told us that that was what we were learning.
Yup. It’s phuckin awesome
Long after I learned to read. At which point it was just confusing since so many words can’t be ‘sounded out’.
I learned to read alongside learning to speak, learned it like a language, not like a code, I didn’t really sound things out consciously, it went in the other direction, I recognized words. So by 3 years I could read quite well, and did come by that path to an understanding that the individual letters had sounds.
Like if you’ve ever seen a little kid learning to write, they start with just scribbles then lines of scribbles then clumps of “letters” then actual words with letters. That is sort of the process I had - books held stories, then I saw there was writing, then my mom read the stories while pointing to the words, then I pretended I could read by memorizing the book, but then just jumped to being able to read. Anything. Like first book was “bears on wheels” but second book was Grendel, and I could read the newspaper, literally think I could understand written language more than spoken.
So anyway - yes was taught phonics but not taught to read with phonics.
No, while it was known, it was not taught at my schools. My mother hated the entire concept so if they tried she’d likely have raised hell.
Or just put us somewhere private instead. The much more sensible option lmfao
