“Whole Word” sounds like a horrible approach to me.
Let's give you a test and test your assumption...
If I say "bird" what first jumps into your mind?

To clarify, you asked me what popped into my mind first when you said bird and I thought of a 1920’s flapper (woman) and yes I am aware of the coincidence that birds flap but that’s just how my mind works, clever and smart-aleky like that :-)
