Phonics is great for building a strong foundation in reading skills, but it does take time and patience. On the plus side, once children have mastered phonics, they will be able to figure out most new words with ease.

Yes, but don't expect it to be that significant. Part 1: As applied to English, “phonics” refers to associating spelling patterns with pronunciation. For the most part, this is indeed how native speakers learn to read and write English.
