If a word is unfamiliar it can be skipped, guessed at, or picked up from context.
That's not what I did.
Whole-language is generally a cause of the left.
I can understand your earlier troll comment better now. Either way, it was still wrong.
Can you accept my eccentricity?
I do find it rather humorous that the images at the site that you give in support of your argument has something very similar to what I used earlier. Isn't that whole word reading?

Totally, and sorry...it’s just so darn emotional with me, that I start losing the ability to pursue “rational discourse” or whatever Obama calls it when he wants Republicans to shut up and start rubber stamping...LOL.
Those are funny images. When I taught my kids, they didn’t use pictures (I didn’t have any), and we didn’t even associate sounds with words...we associated sounds with the letter combination that made up the sounds. A bit dry, but 6 weeks of dry learning before they’re 4 years old is a small price to pay for a life of easy reading.
