Anecdote: My mother told me I was taught to read using phonics. I don't remember learning to read except one very brief memory where I was trying to read Sam Who Never Forgets. However in 4th grade I was reading at a 12th grade level, and I was reading 300pg novels in 2-3 days while classmates were reading short kids books. Phonics aparently worked very well for me. Though I'm not always that good with spelling.
