I'm linking here to another thread but under the simple, overarching title of this thread, 'Does phonics help or hinder comprehension?'.
This is because it is very common indeed for the phonics critics or detractors (including academics in the field of literacy who should surely be better informed) from the promotion of systematic synthetic phonics and uptake of a universal phonics check to decry phonics on the basis that it is not really reading and that it works against comprehension.
