The phonics method is a form of instruction that tries to teach the reader to identify the “sounds” of words by learning the sounds of letters, instead of the other way around.  It’s not a very popular or modern method of instruction, and it’s likely that a different approach would be more effective.

Really? I thought it was still used somewhat.
