Phonics is a method of learning to read English by developing an awareness of the variety of sounds that letters represent in different positions and combinations.Phonetics is the study of speech sounds in a language and is focused purely on pronunciation.

Do phonics work? How does a native speaker know the words?
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.
