I've taught like this & my kids have learnt to read like this. It seems a pretty good system (better than what I had which was purely memorizing).

In the UK we use a phonics system which equates letters to sounds. There are lots of exceptions bc 'English' isn't 'regular' (lots of reasons for this). Using the sounds as blocks, you can 'build' words. .

I loved this & was lucky enough to listen to Ben talk about it, and his writing in general, recently which was a truly wonderful experience.
