In the early 2000s, schools foolishly replaced phonics instruction (which is very effective at teaching kids to read) with something called “whole-language learning” (which is not). This method encourages kids to “guess” a word based on the first letters. It has been a disaster.

I think the scariest thing in that video of the high school kids trying to read that index card is that they can't sound words out, completely skip words they don't know, and bail entirely when they hit a word they don't know! I know how reading education changed but still sad!
