I don’t recall that. I know that we heard the term a lot later.

I do know that we did ‘sound out’ the sounds of letters, and maybe I just don’t remember.

I’d really like to find an old instructional book that was used in that era.

English is a mix of languages and sounds.

Phonics is the backbone, but memorization of words is essential to fluency and understanding.

A mixture of methods is required.
