I am an experienced and professional English teacher with more than 5 years of teaching experience.

Phonics should be taught first and it should be shown and told the association with the symbol i.e letters to the children.

The letter names are a convenient way to reference a particular spelling, but the sounds they represent are essential to learn, so concentrate on sounds (phonics) first, moving quickly to the sounds of the many digraphs common in English spelling, like "sh," "ch," "ow," "ck," "oa," etc.

What is the difference between grammar and phonics?
Grammar is the structure of the language - the framework, how it all fits together. Phonics (actually a method of teaching reading and writing) relates to the sounds of the language and how those sounds make up words.

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.
